Steps to Start and Host a Meeting
Here’s how to start and host a meeting using ClientPoint, step by step:
Step 1: Access the Meet Feature
- From anywhere within your ClientPoint dashboard, you’ll find an action card that says “Meet.” This card is available to you no matter what page you’re on, making it easy to quickly start a meeting.
Step 2: Select Who You Want to Meet With
When you click on Meet, you’ll be asked who you’d like to invite to the meeting. ClientPoint offers several options for meeting visibility, allowing you to tailor the audience:
- Public – Your meeting will be visible to everyone, making it ideal for public webinars or events that you want to open to anyone.
- All of My Relationships – This option will make the meeting visible to everyone you've connected with on ClientPoint. It’s great for group discussions or business meetings with people you’ve built relationships with.
- Specific People – This option is for private meetings where only selected individuals can join. You can choose specific people from your network to participate in the meeting.
- Collaboration Group – If you're part of a collaboration group, this option makes your meeting visible only to the group members. This is perfect for team meetings or project discussions.
Step 3: Send the Invitation
Once you’ve selected your preferred audience, ClientPoint will generate a meeting invitation and post it to the selected timelines. The invitation will be visible based on your selection (e.g., public timeline, specific group, etc.).
- If you select Public, the invitation will appear on your public timeline for everyone to see.
- If you choose All of My Relationships, the invitation will be shared with everyone in your relationship network.
- Specific People and Collaboration Group will send invites to those selected or group members only.
Step 4: Join the Meeting
Once your meeting invitation has been sent, the next step is to join the meeting yourself. Click on the “Join Meeting” button from the invitation you posted. This will open up the meeting space.
Step 5: Customize Your Meeting Settings
Before or as you join the meeting, you will have the option to adjust your settings:
- Video Settings: Choose whether to turn your camera on or off during the meeting.
- Audio Settings: Select your microphone and speakers. Ensure you’re properly set up for clear audio communication.
- Virtual Background: ClientPoint allows you to use a virtual background if desired, giving you the option to keep your surroundings professional or fun, depending on the nature of the meeting.
Once everything is set, you’re ready to start your meeting. You can now interact with your participants, share content, and collaborate in real-time.
