Setting a default audio and video service provider for meeting rooms

Set a default audio and video service provider for meeting rooms in your organization. When you specify a default audio and video service provider, that service provider name displays in the Voice and Video field of the New Meeting Room window when a user creates a new meeting room.

For information about the IBM® Sametime® Meeting Server preferences, see the topic Meeting preferences.

Procedure

  1. On the server hosting the IBM Sametime Media Manager, open the ConferenceManager.properties file. In a multiple-computer deployment where Sametime Media Manager components are installed on different computers, go to the server hosting the Sametime Conference Manager.

    Each adapter has its own ConferenceManager.properties file.

  2. Change the Conferencemanager.properties  file for the desired adapter to be set as default and add this property to the file:

    defaultProvider=true;

    If a customer wants to use a third party as the default provider, add this preference to the Conferencemanager.properties file on the third party adapter, otherwise, add this preference to the Conferencemanager.properties file for the Sametime audio video provider.

    Note: You must add the defaultProvider preference to the ConferenceManager.properties file. The defaultProvider preference does not reside there by default. If the defaultProvider preference is not set in the Conferencemanager.properties file, the default audio and video service provider is not available on the Sametime client.
  3. Restart the Sametime Conference Manager or the combined Sametime Media Manager's SIP Proxy/Registrar and Conference Manager according to your configuration.
