Allowing users to send announcements

Community Services allows users to send unencrypted announcements to others who are online in the Sametime® Community.

About this task

When you enable this feature users can:
  • Send unencrypted announcements to anyone who is online in Sametime Connect Client or in an online meeting. To receive an announcement, a user must be online, and in either active or away status. Users who are offline or have a status of "do not disturb" do not receive announcements.
  • Allow the recipients of the announcement to respond to the announcement, or prevent them from responding.
