Let users show their names in meeting rooms

Want to know the names of people in meeting rooms? When a user checks into a meeting room on their device with Companion mode, the user's name appears on the room tile. If a checked-in user raises their hand during the meeting, the moderator will know which user in the room is raising their hand.

Before you begin

• To create eligible rooms people can check into, follow the steps in Create buildings, features & Calendar resources. 
• To manage whether the hardware in a room is eligible for check-in, follow the steps in Allow users to display their names in meeting rooms.
