• Add the contact to groups and assign the necessary roles.

Profile

• Phone number

• UI language of the control panel (this option is relevant if the user is assigned the role of operator or administrator who can access the control panel).

This data is displayed in the contact card on the Information tab.

Address

Here, you can assign multiple addresses with different protocols (SIP, H.323, RTSP, VNC) to a contact. To do it:

1. Click the Add button.

2. Select the type of protocol that will be used for connection.

3. Enter the route address.

4. Click the Save button.

If necessary, specify Display name, which is the name displayed during the conference. If not specified, the user's name will be shown in the conference.

Additionally

On the Additional tab, you can select audio and video codecs, configure resolution and bitrate limits for the outbound video stream, and check the Cascading option.

For participants with cascading enabled, their own video (self-view) will be automatically removed from the video layout. This feature is useful if the user is in a conference on another instance of TrueConf MCU or on TrueConf Server

You can specify multiple addresses for a single contact:

When multiple protocols are specified, TrueConf MCU will sequentially make calls according to the priority set in the server settings under Administration → Calls → Protocol priority.

To add the video conference TrueConf as a participant, use one of the SIP/H.323 protocols, but instead of a username, enter the string 00<Conference_ID>, where <Conference_ID> is the conference ID.

For example, 00639499375243@video.company.com

Account

You can assign a user a login and password to access the control panel for server administration or conducting conferences. Once the settings are saved, the contact will automatically be assigned the role of Operator.

Here, you can also modify authorization data.
