Live Meeting User Group

How do I specifcy a value for the name field in my Join URL? It already has the meeting ID and password int he URL, how can I add the Name as well? I tried &name= and &userid= and neither worked.

 Thanks,

Hi peaboy

Not something I've come accross before, but I would think it can be done.  I'll have a search and see if I can find anything.  What are you hoping to use it for?  You are effectively setting up a direct link into the meeting for an annonymous user.

We use a meeting which essentially is always available and I have a URL I send to attendees and a seperate one for myself. the URL has all the info but my name and I figurd why not have too. Not a big deal in al honesty, I just assume its possible.

Hi Peaboy,

Sorry for not replying earlier, but you can populate the name very easily. Here is an example:

https://www.livemeeting.com/cc/ukdemo5/join?cn=SIMON&id=S48XFX&role=present&pw=MR%2BBZ4jzB

In the above example, you will see that I have added in another XML variable CN= the field that populates to include the user name is represented by this variable. You can easily try this by creating a meeting, cut and pasting the url for the presenter, and inserting after the join?cn=name& there is no specific order of these variables, as long as the convention is that its after the join command, and each variable is sperated by the &

Anymore question, feel free to drop them in the Ask Microsoft Section....that's where I normally hide !!!

Hi Simon

Thanks for picking up on that one, not something I could find information on but using the "CN" variable is probably one I should have worked out!

ugh, they used CN because its a X500 (or is it 400) directory field. CN is Common Name. I noticed (in trying) that the CN has to be lower case.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Peaboy,

Not sure about its origins. However, there is a full list of all the XML commands that can be used with Live Meeting in out developer section on the support site. I have put the link below for reference.

This XML API gives you all you need to develop or build integration with other XML based tools, for example, learning management systems etc.
