Connecting to a Conference

To join a conference, you can:

  • specify its ID in the Conference → Join the conference menu;

  • If it has already started, call its owner by finding them in the address book (they will be marked with a star icon /docs/client-android-tv/media/gui/star/en.png).

During the conference, you can turn off your camera and microphone, use the chat, and view the shared content.

Creating a Conference

In the TrueConf for Android TV application, you can organize a video conference of one of four types: everyone on screen, video lecture, smart meeting, or moderated role-based conference.

Everyone on screen

Symmetric conference is a video conference during which all users can see and hear each other:

  1. Go to the Conference → New Conference menu.

  2. Select the All on screen mode:

Moderated role-based conference

Creating a group conference with participants divided into listeners and speakers. Your actions will be similar to those described in the previous section, except you should specify Moderated role-based when selecting the conference type.

Video lecture

A video lecture is created similarly. In this mode, all participants can see and hear only the presenter, while the presenter can see and hear everyone.

Smart meeting

A smart meeting is created in a similar way. This mode is similar to a moderated role-based conference, except that participants are given the podium automatically based on voice activity or during content sharing.
