Creating a Meeting Server configuration URL on an Android device

Use a pre-configured Android device to generate a configuration URL that you can distribute to Android or iOS mobile users to get them started with meetings quickly.

Procedure

  1. On the pre-configured Android device, open the Sametime® application.
  2. Open the options menu and tap Settings.
  3. Tap Meeting Servers.
  4. Tap an existing server configuration to display the edit dialog.
  5. Tap the share icon at the top of the dialog.
  6. Choose an application, such as a mail application, that you would like to use to share the configuration URL.
    Note: Some Android mail clients will not recognize a configuration URL that uses the stmeetings:// protocol. Therefore, an http:// version of the configuration URL is also generated. When using a webpage for distribution of the configuration, the stmeetings:// version of the URL can simply be placed in a normal HREF tag, such as:
    <a href="stmeetings://.......">
    <font size="4"> Your Link Name</font>
    </a>
  7. Distribute the URL to users.

    As long as users have installed the IBM® Meetings app on their devices, they can open the configuration link to create the correct meeting server configuration for their devices automatically.
