Network conference meeting controls
Methods and apparatus for receiving user meeting control for network conferences. In an embodiment, a method for receiving user meeting controls includes transmitting a request to participate in a network conference. The request includes an identifier. The method also includes receiving meeting controls for use during the network conference. The meeting controls are determined from a policy database based on the identifier.
1. A method for receiving user meeting controls, the method comprising:
transmitting a request to participate in a conference, wherein the request includes a first identifier; and
receiving first meeting controls when the conference is a first conference type and receiving second meeting controls when the conference is a second conference type, wherein the first meeting controls and the second meeting controls are determined from a policy database that includes an account section, a group section, and a user section, the determination based on the account section and the first identifier to prevent bypass of assigned policy rules.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising performing the method at a user device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the request comprises transmitting the request to initiate or join the conference.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first identifier is a user identifier or a device identifier.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a code from a server, wherein the code is a device identifier.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the request comprises associating an internet protocol (IP) address with the request, wherein the IP address acts as a device identifier.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the request comprises transmitting the request to network equipment that adds a token to the request, wherein the token is a device identifier.
8. An apparatus for receiving user meeting controls, the apparatus comprising:
a transceiver configured to:
transmit a request to participate in a conference, wherein the request includes a first identifier; and
receive first meeting controls when the conference is a first conference type and receive second meeting controls when the conference is a second conference type, wherein the first meeting controls and the second meeting controls are determined from a policy database that includes an account section, a group section, and a user section, the determination based on the account section and the first identifier to prevent bypass of assigned policy rules.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the transceiver is further configured to:
receive a code that is associated with a device identifier.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the request includes an internet protocol (IP) address.
11. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the request includes a token.
12. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the policy database that includes a plurality of identifiers associated with a plurality of meeting controls.
13. The apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the policy database includes account, group, and user sections and the first identifier identifies meeting controls in a selected section.
14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the first identifier is a device identifier.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including stored instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
transmitting a request to participate in a conference, wherein the request includes a first identifier; and
receiving first meeting controls when the conference is a first conference type and receiving second meeting controls when the conference is a second conference type, wherein the first meeting controls and the second meeting controls are determined from a policy database that includes an account section, a group section, and a user section, the determination based on the account section and the first identifier to prevent bypass of assigned policy rules.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
transmitting the request with a code.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
transmitting the request with an internet protocol (IP) address.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to perform operations further comprising:
transmitting the request with a token.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the policy database includes a plurality of identifiers associated with a plurality of meeting controls.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the first identifier is a device identifier.
