    What platform role do I need - Organisation Admin, Team Admin

    There is a tab in the clinic configuration section called ‘Joining a call’. This allows a Clinic Administrator to set the default behaviour for guests joining a video call in meeting and group rooms associated with the clinic. Clinic Administrators can specify whether a photo is required by guests when joining a meeting or group room call. They can also configure whether the guest's Last name will be mandatory or optional to provide.Guests are people who have been invited to a meeting and are given a link to access the room.

    Please note: Unless a Clinic Administrator changes the default setting, a photo is required. This configuration does not apply to waiting area calls.

    From your Clinic Waiting Area page, click on Configure and click on the Joining a call tab.
    Click on the text field under Guest photo capture and three options will appear. Select the appropriate option and this will apply to guest who are invited to join a meeting in a meeting room.
