Using the iPhone/iPAD app with the Community Builder

Created March 2014

Entering a Virtual Conference Room from within a Community Builder community is different from entering a specific Virtual Conference Room. For the latter you need to provide the User Name and Password. With the Community Builder the User Name and Password is maintained by the Community Builder and therefore, once you have entered the community, you simply click the community room you wish to enter.

You do need to first install an iPhone/PAD app.

The free iPhone/iPAD app, tcConference, is available from the Apple App Store.

System Requirements

The app requires iOS 5 or newer; therefore, you'll need an iPhone 3GS (or newer) or any iPAD.

Install the tcConference app from the App Store.

Using The App

1. Enter the community
2. Click the community room you wish to enter
3. A dialog will display You should completely ignore that dialog
4. Touch Done

How To Speak

From time to time new versions of the app will be made available. These new versions will fix bugs, add new features or both.

To determine if a new version is available, go to the App Store and search for tcConference. If a new version is available, UPDATE will be displayed in top right corner. Click UPDATE and follow the prompts to install the new app.
