# Participate in a Web Conference via the Web App

This User Handbook explains how to use the PASCOM Web App.

The PASCOM Web App can be used in your favourite web browser. Currently, popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge are supported.

## Participate in Conferences

PASCOM groups are a powerful conference tool which can be used to enable both classic audio conferences and modern video conferences via the web browser.

### Join a Classic Audio Conference

{% hint style="success" %}
To use this option, the public group must be configured with an **external group number**!
{% endhint %}

As an external participant in an audio conference, you will usually receive dial-in data consisting of a phone number and PIN.

```
Dial in Number: +499912969166
PIN: 313 787 136

```

As soon as you have dialed in via the dial-in number and entered the PIN, the PASCOM cloud phone system will direct you to the corresponding conference. To end the audio conference, simply hang up.

### Participate in a Web Conference

As an external participant in a web conference, you will usually receive an invitation that can look like similar to below.

```
Group: "Demo Group"
Webclient URL: https://pascom.net/pascom/webclient/f791b39a-4fd4-431b-850a
Dial in Number: +499912969166
PIN: 313 787 136

```

Enter the URL into to your browser and navigate to the PASCOM Web App's web conference start page.

Enter a name with which you want to join the web conference. This name will also be visible to all other participants.

### The Web App Options

![Web Client Options](https://2713225-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVIw0BpSv358R2Pr2HflD%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-bec9be63c34f16018d3eccee7f0765ccaf6b56a5%2Fwebclient_options.en.png?alt=media)

**Select Camera**

Your browser will automatically search for and find installed webcams which can be used when participating in a video web conference. It is of course also possible to disable the video function via the **drop down menu** and selecting **no camera**.

**Browser Audio**

Select and configure your audio preferences for both your microphone and speaker. Your browser will automatically try to detect installed devices such as integrated audio components, headsets and headphones. Simply select your preferred audio device from the **drop down list**.

**Phone Audio**

To join a conference using dial-in phone audio you will need to select the **phone tab** within your the webclient log in browser window. You will need the conference **dial-in number** and **PIN** in order to call in and use your phone audio.

### The Waiting Area

If a participant joins a web meeting before a moderator has started the conference, the waiting area will always appear. This is also the case if a moderator chooses to pause a conference.

<figure><img src="https://2713225-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FVIw0BpSv358R2Pr2HflD%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3da697de90026817a2e2c8a1de849559ff73c280%2Fwebclient_waiting.en.PNG?alt=media" alt="Webclient Wating Area" width="60%"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

External participants will hear the music on hold set in the PASCOM cloud phone system for the duration the wait before the conference starts / resumes. The **leaver (exit door) symbol** takes you back to the Web App options.

### The Web App Interface

As soon as the web conference starts, all external participants will move to the Web App interface, where as a participant several conferencing and collaboration tools will be available to you.

**Increase / Reduce Video Size**

By clicking on a participants video, it is possible to maximise the size of their video as the main point of focus. To decrease the video size, simply click it again. This function is especially helpful for maximising screen sharing video streams for maximum detail.

**Chat Area**

On the left of the screen, you will see the chat menu icon which you can click to show or hide the instant messaging section. Within the chat area, each conference participant can chat with each other.

**Participant List**

On the right of the screen, you will find the the participant menu icon which you can click to which you can show or hide the conference participant list.

**Toolbar**

In the bottom section of the screen, you will find the conference toolbar in which it is possible to mute / unmute your **microphone**, turn your **video** on or off, switch to **fullscreen mode** and leave the conference.

### Leaving the Web Conference

If you leave the web conference using the **Leave (exit door) symbol**, you will return to the Web App options. From here, you can re-enter the web conference again or close the browser window.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pascom.net/en/user/client-web-userguide/join-webconference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
