Displaying participant information prior to joining a conference
A conference system transmits a first graphical output for display on a panel interface associated with a conference. Prior to the client device joining the conference, the conference system determines participant information based on a request. The conference system transmits a second graphical output to the client device to display the participant information without the client device having to join the conference.
1. A method, comprising:
transmitting, to a client device, a first graphical output for display on a panel interface associated with a conference, the panel interface having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including an indicator that indicates that the conference is a future conference;
prior to the client device joining the conference:
determining participant information based on a request; and
transmitting a second graphical output to the client device to display the participant information on the second portion of the panel interface.
2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining whether a high priority participant has joined the conference; and
transmitting a notification to the client device that the high priority participant has joined the conference.
3. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining whether a high priority participant has joined the conference, wherein the high priority participant is determined based on an organizational chart relative to an organizational position of a user of the client device; and
transmitting a notification to the client device when the high priority participant has joined the conference.
4. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
determining whether a high priority participant has joined the conference, wherein the high priority participant is based on a preference of a user of the client device; and
transmitting a notification to the client device when the high priority participant has joined the conference.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first graphical output is associated with calendar data.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first graphical output is associated with calendar data and includes at least one of a description, a list of topics, a time, a location, a participant identifier, or a participant invite status.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the participant information includes a participant preview status.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein a user of the client device is a non-host of the conference.
9. A system, comprising:
a server configured to:
transmit a first graphical output for display on a panel interface associated with a conference, the panel interface having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including an indicator that indicates that the conference is a future conference; and
a client device configured to display the first graphical output on a display of the client device;
prior to the client device joining the conference, the server configured to:
determine participant information based on a request; and
transmit a second graphical output to the client device to display the participant information on the second portion of the panel interface.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the server is configured to:
determine whether a high priority participant has joined the conference.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the server is configured to:
transmit a notification to the client device based on a determination that a high priority participant has joined the conference.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the server is configured to:
transmit a notification to the client device when a high priority participant has joined the conference based on an organizational chart relative to an organizational position of a user of the client device.
13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the server is configured to:
determine that a high priority participant has joined the conference based on a preference of a user of the client device.
14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the participant information includes a participant icon.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage device including program instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
transmitting, to a client device, a first graphical output for display on a panel interface associated with a conference, the panel interface having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion including an indicator that indicates that the conference is a future conference;
prior to the client device joining the conference:
determining participant information based on a request; and
transmitting a second graphical output to the client device to display the participant information on the second portion of the panel interface.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the participant information includes a participant title.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the first graphical output is associated with conference information that includes at least one of a description, an agenda, a time, a location, or a participant identifier.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the first graphical output includes a response option.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the first graphical output includes a single-click response option.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage device of claim 15 , wherein the operations include:
determining whether a high priority participant has joined the conference.
