Put a meeting on hold or end a meeting

A host can put participants on hold to block access to the meeting room temporarily. Hosts and presenters can still enter a meeting room and perform activities there while participants are on hold. Audio conference calls are placed on hold.

A host may put a meeting on hold to allow presenters to enter a meeting room while the meeting is not in session, so that they can prepare materials for the meeting. A Stop Meeting icon  appears at the right of the menu bar when a meeting is on hold.

A host can remove everyone from a meeting and end the meeting to deny everyone access to the meeting room, including hosts, presenters, and participants. Audio conference calls are disconnected. Hosts may end a meeting if the Acrobat Connect Professional account is billed by the minute, to prevent charges while the meeting is not in session. When a host has ended a meeting, a message appears indicating that the meeting has ended.

A button for restarting the meeting appears to hosts. The host can view a notification window to see how many attendees are waiting to enter the meeting room. Attendees who log into a meeting that is on hold will automatically enter the meeting when it resumes.

Hosts can send On Hold or Meeting Ended messages to inform attendees of the meeting status.
