SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING MEETING ATTENDANCE

Abstract:

One example method for controlling online meeting attendance includes obtaining meeting information associated with a meeting, the meeting information comprising a meeting identifier; receiving, by a video conferencing system from a client device, a request to join the meeting, the request comprising the meeting identifier; receiving a user identifier corresponding to a user; accessing a set of guest identifiers corresponding to a plurality of meeting guests invited to the meeting; determining that the user is a meeting guest of the plurality of meeting guests based on the user identifier and a correspondence to a guest identifier of the set of guest identifier, wherein the user identifier is not in the set of guest identifiers; and responsive to determining that the user is a meeting guest of the plurality of meeting guests, connecting the client device to the meeting.
