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

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.
