Features available to your account
Your account capabilities
On the right panel of the personal area main page, you can find the list of features available to you:
Additionally, in the left sidebar, you can open the minimalist chat menu, create surveys, and use AI features (conference transcription and summarization).
If any of these features is unavailable to you, contact the server administrator and ask for a list of rights given to you.
Editing the Address Book
Address book is a list of contacts (both user accounts and call strings) that a TrueConf Server user can view and browse from a client application.
If this feature is unavailable, you will only be able to see the address book provided by the server administrator without being able to edit it.
Making calls (video calls)
A video call is a mode involving two participants who can see and hear each other.
If this feature is unavailable, you won't be able to make video calls but, only receive incoming calls.
Creating a Group Conference
If this option is unavailable, you will be able only to join conferences, but not create them.
You can create group conferences in one of the four modes with TrueConf client applications and in the personal area:
All on screen is a video conference where all participants can see and hear each other.
Video lecture is a conference where the moderator can see all the participants while the participants can only see the moderator.
Moderated role-based conference is a conference where participants can see and hear only presenters. Any participant can become a presenter; to do it, he/she has to be approved by the moderator.
Smart meeting is similar to a moderated role-based conference; however, in this case, every participant automatically becomes a presenter as soon as he/she starts speaking or sharing content.
Screen Sharing
This permission allows you to share your desktop and specific application windows in the TrueConf client application. Disabling it will not affect your ability to view content broadcasted by other participants in the conference.
Ability to allow control of your desktop
If this feature is available and you are participating in a conference from your desktop client application, you can allow other users to control your desktop. Please note that a request for control can only be made if you are sharing your screen (not an application window or presentation). Additionally, you need to allow other users request control of your desktop in application settings.
Remote desktop control
If this feature is available, you will be able to control the participant's desktop during a video call or conference, provided they have granted the appropriate permissions in the application settings. Please note that requesting control is only possible if they are sharing their screen (not an application window or presentation).
Presentation Display
This permission allows you to share presentations in the client application TrueConf. Disabling it will not affect your ability to view presentations broadcasted by other participants.
File Sharing
If you do not have this right, you will not be able to send files to personal or group chats. However, you will still be able to send messages, share contacts or download the files sent by other users.
Receiving Files
This right allows you to receive files in private and group chats. If you do not have this right, instead of a file there will be a chat message indicating that you are not permitted to receive files. However, you will still be able to download the files that you sent previously providing that you have the permission to send them.
Conference Recording
This feature enables you to record conferences and video calls in the client application TrueConf. Having this permission does not affect event recording on the server side.
Operator Privileges
This right means that your account was added to the operator group which gives you the following permissions:
You automatically receive the rights of a moderator in any conference you join.
None of the participants, including the conference owner, can dismiss you from the moderator role.
You can join any PIN-protected meeting without having to enter PIN, regardless of when this passcode was set, before the conference start or during the conference.
Moderator is a conference participant who is allowed to:
Invite users to a conference
Remove users from a conference
Give or take the "podium" without a request (in a moderated role-based conference)
Pin presenters on the “podium” (in a smart meeting)
End a conference for all participants
