# Introduction to TrueConf Room

# Connection structure

To hold video conferences, connect TrueConf Room to TrueConf Server (a video conferencing server) and sign in using your account information. TrueConf Server can operate in a local network or over the Internet.

As a product, TrueConf Room does not come with video conferencing peripherals. A microphone and a camera have to be connected to the computer running TrueConf Room.

# Start screen

During a video conference participants' videos are displayed on a screen connected to the computer where TrueConf Room was installed.

When there are no ongoing conferences, the following elements are displayed on the main screen:

• A video from the camera connected to TrueConf Room

• A QR code with a link to the control panel

• Information about the current user

• Design elements.

In this case, TrueConf Room general screen view is called the start screen. Check this section to see how start screen settings can be changed.

# Control panel

TrueConf Room is implemented through a web interface accessible from any device that has a web browser. The web interface is powered by a local web server launched by TrueConf Room and requires no Internet connection. This part of TrueConf Room is called the control panel.

You can log in to the control panel via a link or a QR code on the main screen.

# Roles and permissions

You can give users different access rights to make sure that they cannot disrupt the work of TrueConf Room. The application will be available to them in two different modes:

• User mode

• Administrator mode.

Only administrators will be able to:

• Connect TrueConf Room to a different TrueConf Server instance

• Change the user on whose behalf TrueConf Room is authorized on TrueConf Server

• Change start screen settings

• Switch to different authorization modes.

In the user mode, you will be able to:

• Change audio and video settings

• Create video conferences
