users who are in a Cisco Unified Personal Communicator conversation can quickly share data through a
private, reservationless, and web-only meeting that is provided by Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express.

About Joining Web Meetings That Are Initiated From Cisco Unified
Personal Communicator
The following information applies to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express web-only meetings that are
initiated from a Cisco Unified Personal Communicator conversation:
•
The web meeting initiator must have an active user profile in one of the following places:
– Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express—See the “About User Profiles” section on page 6-7.
– The external directory that authenticates Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express users—See the
“About User Authentication By an External Directory” section on page 5-14.
•
Meeting passwords and e-mail notifications are not supported.
•
The web meeting can be accessed only through the following means:
– Automatic browser sublaunch by Cisco Unified Personal Communicator for all conversation
participants; this occurs automatically when one conversation participant initiates a web
meeting.
– (For users who are not using Cisco Unified Personal Communicator) URL provided to, and
subsequently distributed by, the conversation participant who initiates the web meeting.
These web meetings cannot be accessed by any other means, such as through the Find or Attend user
web pages or through a Cisco Unified IP Phone screen when subscribed to the Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Express service for the Cisco Unified IP Phone.

About Participant Privileges in Web Meetings That Are Initiated From
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator
The following information applies to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express web-only meetings that are
initiated from a Cisco Unified Personal Communicator conversation:
•
All participants are treated as guest users with presenter privileges in the web meeting room.
Therefore, all participants can share data, and only the meeting initiator must have a Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Express user profile.
•
Only one pod, the share pod, is available in the web meeting room. The participant list, chat, and
note pods that appear in other types of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express web meeting rooms are
not available.
•
Except for the ability to share data, meeting participants do not have in-session controls, such as the
ability to lock, record, or end the meeting from within the web meeting room.

•
User profile settings do not affect the behavior of these web meetings. For example:
– Even if the Password required field in the user profile is set to Yes, no passwords are required
to attend web meetings that are initiated from Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.
– Even though Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express treats the meetings that are initiated from
Cisco Unified Personal Communicator as private reservationless web meetings, the Use
reservationless field may be set to No in the meeting initiator’s Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Express user profile.
– Even if the user profile Host web meetings with field is set to Participant list only, the user may
still share data in web meetings that are initiated from Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.

How to Integrate With Cisco Unified Personal Communicator
This section describes the tasks that you need to complete in the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express
Administration Center to enable web meetings to be initiated from Cisco Unified
Personal Communicator.
1.
Install enough web-conferencing licenses on Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express to accommodate
both the full web meetings that are initiated from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express and the
share-only web meetings that are initiated from Cisco Unified Personal Communicator. See the
following sections:
– About Web Ports, page 4-11
– About Licenses, page 13-8

2.
Enable the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology on the Cisco Unified
MeetingPlace Express system by obtaining and uploading the required certificates from a trusted
certificate authority (CA). See the “Managing Certificates for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express”
section on page 10-1.
3.
Make sure that a Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express user profile exists for each Cisco Unified
Personal Communicator user that may initiate web meetings from a Cisco Unified
Personal Communicator conversation.
Typically, both Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express and Cisco Unified Personal Communicator are
integrated with Cisco Unified CallManager, which handles the user authentication. See the “About
User Authentication By an External Directory” section on page 5-14.
For additional tasks that must be performed outside the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Express
Administration Center, see the Installation Guide for Cisco Unified Personal Communicator.
