Note that these settings only affect scheduled meetings. Meeting configuration settings dictate the type of meetings that users can create, in addition to controlling how (or even if) anonymous users and dial-in conferencing users can join these meetings. If the Meeting Organizer uses a general Skype for Business account, the policy must be removed after the conference is finished. If a dedicated account is used for the Meeting Organizer role, the conferencing policy can remain assigned to that account. Therefore, the meeting invitation for the conference can be created some weeks in advance, but the restrictive conferencing policy should be applied to the Meeting Organizer's Skype for Business account just before the conference starts. Note that conferencing policies are applied to the user or site and cannot be applied to a specific meeting. You can use conferencing policies to manage security, bandwidth, and legal aspects of meetings. But, in general, you can think of a meeting as a specific instance of conferencing.Ĭonferencing policy settings encompass a wide variety of scheduling and participation options, ranging from whether a meeting can include IP audio and video to the maximum number of people who can attend. Note that the terms conferencing and meeting are sometimes used interchangeably. In Skype for Business Server, you manage the details of conferencing by specifying configuration and policy settings as follows.
