Pods Bar
There are nine different types of pods, each with it's own unique purpose. These pods may or may not be visible at different times during the meeting, depending on the host’s choice at any time.
You can switch between the pods by tapping on the icons. In version 3.2 only Share, Video, Chat, Attendee, and Poll pods are supported on both Android and iOS. Version 3.2 for iOS also supports Notes and Q&A pods. The remaining pods will be visible, and can be selected, however they will only contain instructions for switching to a web browser (where the pod will be visible). Additional pod support is coming in future releases. For more information see Unsupported Pods below.
Share Pod
The Share pod will display content being shared by the meeting host or presenter. This may be either screen sharing or uploaded PowerPoint slides. If more than one Share pod is being displayed by the host, then there will be a drop-down list of all the available Share pods. The Share pod can also contain other types of content that may not yet be supported by this app. If the pod contains content that cannot be displayed, it will show a message indicating that this content cannot be viewed, and a link will be provided to open the meeting in a browser where the content can be viewed.
Note:
Whiteboards, annotations on content, and custom pod applications are not yet supported. Support for these content types will be coming in future releases.
Video Pod
The Video pod will display any cameras being shared. Up to four cameras can be displayed at once - if there are more than four cameras being shared you will need to scroll to see the additional cameras.
Chat Pod
The Chat pod will display the contents of any chat pods in the meeting. If there is more than one Chat pod visible in the meeting, there will be a drop-down list of all the available Chat pods you can choose from. You can participate in any available chat. By default, the chat will only display the chat visible to everyone, however if you have private chat threads, they will be listed by the attendee’s name for you to choose from.
Attendee Pod
The Attendee Pod icon will show the current number of attendees in the meeting. The Attendee pod will list all of the current attendees in the meeting, organized by role as Host, Presenter, or Participant.
Unsupported Pods
Other pods in the meeting room may not yet be supported and if selected will display a warning and offer the user the choice to leave the app and join the meeting using a web browser. These pods are supported in the web browser, however the user interface may more difficult to view in a browser. See the Switch to Browser option.

The Agree and Disagree icons let you share your opinion or vote, and the appropriate icon will appear beside your name in the Attendee pod, and will stay active until you reset them by tapping on the icon again, or until the host clears them. Tapping on any of the remaining icons will also cause that icon to appear beside your name in the Attendees pod, but will automatically reset after 5 seconds.

Telelphone options
If the meeting host has integrated a telephone audio conference with their meeting room, then you will be shown options for joining using your telephone.
Join audio conference
When you join a meeting room, you may see two options for joining the meeting audio:
- Internet audio
- Phone audio
After you join a meeting, the audio icon at the bottom of the app changes accordingly. Use this option to control the microphone or telephony input at any time of the call.
When you join a call using the phone audio, you may have the option to enter your phone number, and then receive a phone call. You are then invited to join the conference call. When your phone rings, the mobile app pauses to let you answer the call. You can later return to the application using the normal multitasking navigation of your device.
The phone status changes accordingly on the app.
Using Pods
Chat pod
Use the Chat pod to chat with users both publicly and in private tabs. In the chat pod, when you tap +, you can see the options for a private chat.
Tap any participant’s name and start a private chat. If the private chat is disabled, you will only be able to interact or chat with the Hosts and Presenters.
Chat options
The chat options (...) allows you to change the size of the text (this only affects your display), the color of the background behind your chat messages, and switch on/off chat notification sounds.
Attendee Pod
If you want to rename yourself, double tap your name, and rename.
Breakout Rooms
Breakout rooms are separate sub-meeting rooms within the main meeting room used for splitting a large group into smaller groups that can talk or collaborate on a task. During a breakout session, all participants are granted microphone rights and camera rights (if a video pod is being used). Participants will need to activate their microphone if they have not already done so.
During breakout sessions, participants will see messages broadcast from the host to all breakout rooms, and will be able to send messages to the host using the Breakout icon that will appear in the Meeting Bar when breakouts are active.
