I see, maybe for the future then, if more see a need for it. However, if I do understand how it works, it would be fairly easy (?) to add a URL to the room on the Room-info tab (where current participants etc are listed) which could be the same link as would be sent when inviting someone.
If I understand correctly the hash is matched against a username and email, maybe this link could just be matched against a generic name/email; like "Participant, [email protected]"? This would solve 90% of my issue, since then we would not need to rely on emails at all from the system, the hoster could just schedule the webcast/demo; click on the room on his/her "Home Page", and there copy this generic link, and send to participants, or add to newsletter. This would make all users have the same generic name, but that would anyway make the system much easier to use for us! Does this make sense? Would it be simpler than the what we discussed below? /Markus ons 2012-08-29 klockan 22:28 +1000 skrev George Kirkham: > While simple to phrase, the change would require a reasonable amount > of coding and so it may take some time before we can expect the > developers to adopt and then code the change. > > > > While you are waiting, please don’t discount Openmeetings existing > ability to invite a person to a meeting room, either in the meeting > room or by calendar event, even when that person does not have an > Openmeetings account, as this would answer your statement “It would > also be useful when we are doing a demo for a specific customer, where > we could just send them the meeting link”. > > > > > > > > Thanks, > > > > George Kirkham > > > > > > > From: Markus Nilsson [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, 29 August 2012 9:16 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: Meeting room URL > > > > > Hi George, > > Thanks for the quick response! > > Yes, this is pretty much what I'm after.
