It's essential to note that for optimal video quality, it's recommended to enable hardware acceleration in your app. This can be done by going to the settings menu and toggling on the 'Use hardware acceleration for receiving video' option. However, keep in mind that this will require restarting the app.

Waiting Rooms: A Secure Way to Join Meetings

When joining a meeting with Twilio call, you'll be placed in a virtual waiting room. This is a secure feature that allows the host (or owner) to approve participants before they enter the meeting. Once approved, attendees can join the meeting and start collaborating.

How to Generate a Temporary ID or Assigned ID

1. Click on the 'Application' menu, then select 'Meetings.'

2. Click on the avatar (initials at top left), then click on 'Settings.'

From here, you can adjust your meeting settings as needed using the same steps. Your meeting settings will specify the controls for your scheduled or instant meeting.

Choosing between Temporary ID and Assigned ID

When creating a meeting, you'll be prompted to choose whether to generate a temporary ID or use an assigned ID. Here's what each option means:

* Temporary ID: A new ID is created each time you generate a Temporary (Temp) ID, making it ideal for instant meetings.

* Assigned ID: An assigned ID is best for scheduled and especially recurring meetings.

By choosing the right ID option, you can ensure that your meeting runs smoothly and efficiently.

Joining a Zoom meeting with Twilio call requires some setup and configuration, but by following these steps, you'll be well on your way to hosting successful virtual meetings.
