Make participants important

If you want to make specific people visible in a meeting even when they are not speaking, you can make them important. If several participants are made important, then the ones who last spoke will take priority.

To make someone important:

  1. In the meeting details, find the participant's name.

  2. In the Actions column, click Make important button.

    The participant is now marked as important with a blue star, and pinned at the top of the participant list. The participant will stay pinned until you are signed out, or until you manually remove the pin. Clearing importance does not remove the pin.

You can also set or clear importance from the participant details.

If you want to clear importance for all participants, click Clear all importance button at the top of the page.

If you want to clear importance for just some of the important participants, select the participants first, then click the button.

Note: Meeting Management only supports importance when it is set using Meeting Management or the web app. Other methods (API commands or 3rd party tools) can be used to set importance on the Meeting Server, but importance set by these other methods will not be displayed correctly in Meeting Management. If it happens during a meeting, importance will be displayed with a warning sign and the tool tip Importance was set using a tool that is not supported with Meeting Management. You may want to talk to your administrator before you clear the unsupported importance setting.

Note: Importance does not work if pane placement is turned on.
