Managing Participant Templates
Participant templates are managed from the Participants Templates window.
There are two types of participants, linked and embedded.
Linked Participant
A linked participant is stored in the database. When a linked participant is
added to a Conference template, a pointer to that participant is added to the
Conference template without copying the participant’s parameters to the
conference. When the properties of a linked participant are modified in one
Conference template, its properties are also modified in all Conference
templates to which the participant is linked, as well as in the Participant
template stored in the database.

A linked video participant is indicated by the icon:
Embedded Participant
An embedded participant is not stored in the database. When an embedded
participant is added to a Conference template, the participant is not saved in
the database and therefore does not appear as an entry in the participants
database list. An embedded participant can only be viewed and modified as
part of the Conference template in the Meeting Scheduler module.
