Conferencing Capabilities and Options
On Demand Conferencing
The following options are available to set up conferences:
• New Conference – set up once, use once.
The conference is deleted from the MCU after it ends.
• Meeting Rooms – set up once, use many times.
Meeting Rooms are saved in memory (using no resources) and can be activated as
many times as needed.
• Ad Hoc Entry Queue (CP and Mixed CP and SVC Conferencing) – no setup, a new
conference can be created when an AVC participant dials in and enters a conference ID
that is not being used by an existing conference or Meeting Room.
Permanent Conference
A Permanent Conference is an ongoing conference with no predetermined End Time,
continuing until it is terminated by an administrator, operator or chairperson. For more
details, see Polycom® RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s Administrator’s Guide, "Permanent
Conference” on page 3-50.
Scheduled Conferencing / Reservations
Reservations provide calendar-based scheduling of single or recurring conferences. These
conferences can be launched immediately or become ongoing, at a specified time on a
specified date. For more details, see Polycom® RealPresence Collaboration Server 800s
Administrator’s Guide, "Reservations” on page 9-1.
Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook® (AVC-based
Conferencing)
Polycom Conferencing for Microsoft Outlook is implemented by installing the Polycom
Conferencing Add-in for Microsoft Outlook on Microsoft Outlook -mail clients. It enables

Polycom Conference button in the Meeting tab of the Microsoft Outlook e-mail client ribbon.
