• Start Time: Meeting start time is

The meeting room will be available
before the meeting time and will
remain available indefinitely after
the meeting has ended.
 
 
 
• Recommended Meeting Access:
RIT Faculty, Staff, and students
who have been added as
participants to the meeting
beforehand are all registered users
(See step 4). Persons affiliated
with RIT will use their RIT
Computer Account (DCE) to login
to Connect Meeting.  Those not
affiliated will need to login as a
guest and you will need to accept
them in at the time they log in.
