# Conference page
Every conference, created on TrueConf Server has a web page. Its user interface may differ depending on the conference schedule and privacy mode.
The conference owner will be able to make use of additional features on the conference page. If the event has not started yet, the owner will be able to edit the description by going to the Conference info section and clicking Edit:
We recommend using a client application (for example, for desktop operating systems) as a tool for joining a conference instead of a browser because it offers more features for both attendees (custom video layout, more functional chats, etc.) and moderators (device management, access to scheduler and real-time meeting management, etc.).
# A virtual room or a scheduled conference that has already been started
If it is a virtual room or a scheduled conference that has already been started, you will see the buttons allowing you to join the meeting either from TrueConf client application or from the browser. If it is a webinar, you will be able to join as a guest; in this case, you will need to enter your name in the corresponding field:
# Scheduled conference without registration
In this case you will see the general information about the webinar and the button for adding this event to your calendar:
If the conference has already been started, you will be able to join it either with your TrueConf Server account or as a guest (available for a webinar) as it is shown above.
# Scheduled conference with open registration
The registration is available only for public conferences. In this case, you will see the Sign up button. If you click on it, you will be asked to fill out the registration form (required fields will be marked with an "asterisk"):
If email invitations were allowed on TrueConf Server, you will receive a connection link that will be sent to the email you provided when filling out the form. Otherwise, you will need to click on the Copy link button to copy and save the conference join link.
The conference join link is unique; it cannot be shared with any other participant or used for joining a meeting from multiple devices. For example, you will be disconnected from the conference you joined on your computer if you also try to join this event from your mobile phone.
Authenticated TrueConf Server users can be allowed to join the conference when configuring registration settings. In this case a user can add oneself to the list of webinar participants in the following way:
Authenticate on the conference page by clicking on these buttons: Sign in → Enter as a registered user.
Click on Attend.

# Why do we recommend using a client application instead of a browser?
Company TrueConf provides convenient client applications for all major platforms. It is applications that we recommend as a way to participate in events, as they provide more options than browsers due to the limitations imposed by WebRTC technology. Also, each browser developer can deviate from the generally accepted recommendations for implementing this or that functionality. In client applications there will be no such problem because all the features are already available and do not depend on external vendors. Among the obvious limitations of a browser client compared to native applications TrueConf we should mention:
inaccessibility of working in the browser outside the conference, you can connect only in an active event
less chat capabilities
maximum file size of 1 GB transferred in chat
no moderator capabilities comparable to those in the application (management of participant roles, waiting room, etc.).
For more information on how to use client applications on different platforms, see relevant documentation.
