Configure the meeting join page
When a user clicks a meeting link in a meeting request, the meeting join page detects which client is already installed on the user's computer. If a client is already installed, that client opens and joins the meeting. If a client is not installed, by default the Web App opens.
You can modify the behavior of the meeting join page if you want to allow users to join meetings. These configuration options have been removed from the Control Panel, but you configure them by using the CsWebServiceConfiguration cmdlet.
Meeting Join Page CsWebServiceConfiguration Parameters
| CsWebServiceConfiguration Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ShowJoinUsingLegacyClientLink |
If set to True, users joining a meeting by using a client application other than Lync will be given the opportunity to join the meeting. The default value is False. |
| ShowAlternateJoinOptionsExpanded |
When set to True, alternate options for joining an online conference will automatically be expanded and shown to users. When set to False (the default value), these options will be available, but the user will have to display the list of options for themselves. |
