Video Meetings let you host and join video calls in your web browser. There is nothing to download and nothing to install — you open a link and you are in.
Go to Video Meetings in the portal to get started.
Three ways to begin
The Overview tab gives you three quick actions:
- Start Instant Meeting — click Start Now to create and open a meeting immediately.
- Schedule Meeting — plan a meeting for later and invite people ahead of time. See "Inviting Guests to a Video Meeting".
- Join a Meeting — paste a meeting link to enter someone else's meeting.
How many people can join
A meeting holds up to six people, including you. This is the same for every account — it is not something a larger plan increases. When a room is full, the next person is told the meeting has reached its participant limit and has to wait for someone to leave.
If you need a larger audio-only call, use a conference bridge instead. See "Conference Bridges (Dial-In Audio Conferences)".
Every meeting has a PIN
When you create a meeting, ReliaRing generates a six-digit PIN for it. Anyone joining needs both the link and the PIN — including you, the host. Send them together, or people will be stopped at the join screen.
Getting set up before you join
The first time you join, your browser asks permission to use your camera and microphone. Click Allow. You can turn either off once you are in.
Controls inside the meeting
- Mute / unmute your microphone.
- Start / stop your camera.
- Share your screen to present a document or an application.
- Chat — send text messages to everyone in the meeting.
- Participants — see who is connected.
- Record — capture the meeting. Only the host sees this.
- Leave — disconnect.
Hosts and participants
The person who creates a meeting is the host. Only the host can start and stop recording, and remove someone from the meeting.
Everyone else on your account can see, start, end and delete meetings in the account — including meetings they did not create. Guests joining by link cannot manage anything.
Meetings do not end on their own
The duration you set when scheduling is a note for the people you invited. Nothing ends the meeting automatically when that time is up — someone has to end it. Click End Meeting when you are finished so the room is released.
What Video Meetings does not do
- No breakout rooms.
- No live captions, transcription or meeting summaries.
- No calendar integration — meetings are not created from Outlook or Google Calendar invitations.
- No dial-in by phone. A video meeting is browser-only. For dial-in, use a conference bridge.
