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. |
