Host a team video room
Manage a BloomText video meeting room: add hosts, let guests in, review past sessions, and rename or archive the room.
Who can do this: Room hosts · Web and desktop
A video meeting room is a lasting link your team can use again and again, for example for weekly telehealth sessions. Hosts run the room: they let guests in, can remove anyone from a meeting in progress, and can see the room's past sessions.
Before you start
- Meetings shows in the left bar when your organization has video calls turned on.
- You need to be a host of the room. Hosts are people or whole teams added to that room. Being an organization admin doesn't make you a host.
Add a host
- In the left bar, click Meetings to see your meeting rooms.
- Click the room you run, for example Speech therapy telehealth.
- Check the Hosts list. It shows the people and teams who host this room.
- Click Add hosts.
- Search for a coworker or team, then click Add. To leave without changes, click Cancel.
Let a guest in
When a guest opens the room link and asks to join, BloomText plays a sound and shows hosts Someone wants to join, with the guest's name.
- Check the name of the person asking to join.
- Click Allow to let them in, or Deny to turn them away.
To start or join the meeting yourself, open the room and click Go to meeting.
Review past sessions
- Open the room and click View history.
- Each row shows when a session Started, how many Participants joined, and the Session Time.
- Click Details on a row to see who joined and how long each person stayed.
- Click Close when you're done.
Rename or archive a room
- Open the room and click the more button next to View history.
- Click Rename meeting or Archive meeting, then confirm.
You can open an archived room later and choose Unarchive meeting.
Good to know
- Add a team as host so anyone on that team can let guests in when you're away.
- To remove a host, remove them from the Hosts list in the room.
- To share the room, copy its Meeting Link and send it to your guest.
