Key Concepts to Know
Meetings vs Rooms
In V.connct, meetings and rooms are different concepts:
- Meetings are scheduled or instant sessions with specific start times and participants
- Rooms are persistent spaces created by admins that can host multiple meetings over time
Most users work with meetings directly. Rooms are optional and managed by organization admins.
For more about rooms, see Understanding Rooms in the Admin Guide.
Your Role in Meetings
When you participate in a meeting, you have a meeting role that determines what you can do: Host, Co-Host, Presenter, or Attendee. Each has different permissions for controlling the meeting and presenting content.
Your meeting role is separate from your organization role (Owner, Admin, Member).

Meeting Status
Meetings move through different statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Scheduled | Future meeting, hasn't started yet |
| In Progress | Meeting is currently active |
| Ended | Meeting has finished |
| Cancelled | Meeting was cancelled before it started |
