Configuring Personal meeting settings

Personal meeting settings allow you to manage your Personal Meeting ID (PMI) and related settings. A Personal Meeting ID is a specific meeting ID you can use for all your meetings. Using this ID helps participants associate the meeting to your name, which can be helpful when you meet with the same people frequently.

  • Personal Meeting ID: Customize your Personal Meeting ID. This ID should be 9 digits for RingCentral Video and 10 digits for RingCentral Meetings.
  • Use Personal Meeting ID for instant meetings: Enable your Personal Meeting ID number to start your meetings through the video tab instead of using new and random meeting IDs. Customize your Personal Meeting ID in the field at the top of the window.
