Leaving or ending a meeting

The host, organizer or co-organizer can end the meeting at any time. In addition, the host can temporarily leave the meeting, in which case the host role must be automatically or manually assigned to someone else if the meeting is to continue.

Leaving a meeting as host

Click Exit and select Leave Meeting to leave the meeting temporarily.

If the organizer or a co-organizer is present (in other words, logged into MeetingBooster and participating in the meeting) but is not the host, the host role is automatically assigned to the organizer or a co-organizer.

If there is no organizer or co-organizer present, the dialog below opens.

Select another attendee as host for the meeting on the drop-down, or choose to leave without appointing a different host, and click OK.

If you appoint another attendee as host, the selected attendee becomes host instead of you when you leave. If you leave without assigning a different host, the meeting is suspended for all attendees until you rejoin it.

Notes

If you assign a different host, and that host then leaves the meeting without assigning someone else, the same thing happens.

If you are both host and note taker and assign a different host when leaving the meeting, the new host also becomes note taker.

If you do not want to leave the meeting after all, click Cancel or close the dialog by clicking the button in the top right corner.

Rejoining a meeting as host

When you have left a meeting, the meeting will be shown as running in the list of meetings in the Upcoming Meetings view. Click Join to rejoin the meeting.

When you have left a meeting, logged out of MeetingBooster and log in again, a dialog will be shown informing you that you have a running meeting. From this dialog, you can join the meeting or click Cancel to go to the MeetingBooster home page.

If you left the meeting after assigning host status to another attendee, host status is automatically assigned back to you when you rejoin the meeting.

Ending a meeting

Click Exit and select End Meeting to end the meeting.

If files have been added during the meeting (see "Attending a meeting") but not assigned to any agenda topics, you automatically become note taker and are prompted to assign these files to agenda topics before ending the meeting. The meeting cannot be ended until the files have been assigned or deleted.

When the meeting is ended, all attendees are signed out of the meeting workspace. The final minutes of the meeting are displayed on the screen of every attendee (for more information, see "Viewing meeting minutes"). At this point, the person in charge of the meeting can decide to hide them until further notice, for example because they need to be approved before becoming visible again; for more information, see "Editing and sending meeting minutes".  The finished meeting is automatically moved to the Past Meetings section of the Meetings tab. If tasks were created during the meeting, each task owner receives an email with a list of tasks assigned to him or her during the meeting.

When the meeting is ended, no more information can be added to the meeting. However, notes taken during the meeting can be edited by the organizer, co-organizer, host or note taker for a period of time defined by the administrator. For more information, see "Editing and sending meeting minutes".

Providing feedback

After the meeting has ended, attendees may be requested to provide feedback. See "Providing feedback on meetings" for more information. For more information on setting up the feedback feature, see "Managing feedback settings".
