*\[From 3rd meeting\]*

(9) Export of recordings / Metadata to FMS server or other Mediacontent Servers

(10) Better realtime statistics (guest users in reports?)

(11) Support for more file formats in Share Pod
People need more flexibility and direct upload and conversion of file types such as Word, Excel, Acrobat, various picture formats, Open Office format, etc.

(12) Clean up procedure for inactive users, feature request or possible via api. rather no FR (=Feature Request)

We would like to delete users, user meetings and user content, if they have been inactive for some time and have not responded to mail warnings after some time.
Work Around: we expect that we can setup something ourselves via the web-services-api.

(13?) SIP-integration (in 7.5 ?, Jan will test)
lower rated because no user request

6. Better customization of user rights and roles for an AC installation, but also for each meeting room. cfr. F006G - User defined user role
Reason: We would like to change user rights and roles universally for our AC installation, but also give each Host the possibility to change rights for a specific meeting room. For example we do not think that a Presenter should be able to switch off the sound of a meeting, deactivating all the cameras, closing down the meeting room, delete the chat/text (that cannot be undone) etc. This we believe is the role and rights of a Host. However, we would like the Presenter to be able to activate different layouts, which is not possible today, etc.

Feature requests in order of importance v7.5

The prioritization is done by the members where each member has 20 points to distribute among the features. The total sum for each request is presented in parenthesis after the request. Even if not all audio requests are at top, we have agreed that the far most important feature request is a good fluent audio. In the future we might put the audio quality requests into to one point.

26. PDF-Support: PDF documents can only be shown by desktop sharing.

Status: Fixed in 7.5

Others:

• Better debugging and logging - i.e. to see which streams are heading to/from particular user (and even better if we can see i.e audio quality and level
• Better streaming export - to separate CDN/streaming facilities.
• How to move content from AC server to dedicated FMS?
• Browsing recording&content metadata on separate server.

• audio leveling for host on au
• AGC
• Automatic creation of standard meeting room, when the user is created (and get Meeting Host status). Via account and login information the user will get a URL to the first meeting room. Preferably, the administrator would be able to turn off this feature. Reason: This would get users started very quickly. Most users would not need to get acquainted with the Connect Central interface, and would get direct access to the Connect meeting application. (Thorkild - FskNet)
