The content template is configured in the StarLeaf server.Access privileges
This feature is accessed through the StarLeaf resource created during server configuration:
This resource is managed just like any other resource – share privileges enable you to manage booking privileges and therefore the ability to generate videoconference links. As a result, you must grant the desired users or groups the right to book the resource so that they can create videoconferences for their events:
As a resource, StarLeaf can be assigned working hours and a booking policy. The videoconferencing link created for the meeting being unique, these will not affect the videoconference which will be available regardless.
A button is then available in the event creation window for users who have been given the required privileges:
To find out more about how this feature works, please refer to our user's guide page: Linking a Video-Conference to an Event.
Mobile devices and third-party software
Third-party software such as Outlook or mobile applications do not show the "Add video conference" button, but users can still book a video-conference by inviting the resource to an event just like for any other resource.
