Yes, as a host you set up a personal profile on the Jigsaw Meeting web site. All first-time users of Jigsaw Meeting must create a personal profile. For more information, see the Creating a Personal Profile FAQ.

Yes, you must be designated as a host by your Jigsaw Meeting administrator in order to create meetings. A host is a person with the ability to create and manage meetings using Jigsaw Meeting. The host controls the meetings that she creates. She can invite attendees to a meeting, upload files to the meeting, distribute surveys to attendees, pass host control to presenters in the meeting, and review meeting reports after the meeting has ended.

Note that your Jigsaw Meeting administrator may also be an assigned host.

If you would like to host meetings for your organization and you have not been assigned as a host, contact your organization’s Jigsaw Meeting administrator about purchasing a host license.

The person who administers the Jigsaw Meeting host assignments is your administrator. This is the same person who sets up the Jigsaw Meeting company account for your organization and has control over the number of host and attendee licenses purchased from Jigsaw Meeting. The administrator has a personal profile stored online, just like any other Jigsaw Meeting user. Only the administrator has the ability to assign the host role.

When the Jigsaw Meeting administrator for your organization assigns an individual as a meeting host, an email with subject line “Jigsaw Meeting Host Announcement” is delivered to the new host. The new host is instructed to log in to Jigsaw Meeting to complete a personal profile online.

If you are already a Jigsaw Meeting user, you can determine if you have been assigned as a host by signing in to Jigsaw Meeting at https://stream.jigsawmeeting.com/Signin.aspx. The Scheduled Meetings page is displayed. If your Scheduled Meetings page has two buttons labeled Create Meeting and Manage Company, in addition to the Edit Profile button, then you are assigned as a host and can create meetings.

If your Scheduled Meetings page does not have the Create Meeting button, then you can see only the Edit Profile button, and you are a designated attendee, not a host. Contact your organization’s Jigsaw Meeting administrator for more information.

In order to use Jigsaw Meeting to create, edit, and attend meetings, ensure that you have created a personal profile online and that your computer meets the minimum requirements. For information about setting up a personal profile, see the Creating a Personal Profile FAQ. For information regarding minimum and recommended system requirements, see the System Requirements FAQ.

After setting up a personal profile and ensuring your system meets the requirements, you must log in to Jigsaw Meeting in order to create a meeting. The steps to log in and create a meeting are:

1. Log in to Jigsaw Meeting at https://stream.jigsawmeeting.com/Signin.aspx or click the Host a Meeting button on the Jigsaw Meeting home page at www.jigsawmeeting.com. The Upcoming Meetings tab on the Scheduled Meetings page is displayed. If there are no pending meetings, “You Have No Upcoming Meetings” is displayed.

2. Click the Create Meeting button.

3. Input text or make selections for the required (*) fields, as follows:

Meeting Name. Input the title of this meeting. This field is limited to 200 characters.

Meeting Date. Indicate meeting date. Defaults to today’s date. Click the drop-down arrow to change the date. Note that the meeting must start and end on the same day.

Meeting Start Time. Indicate start time for meeting.

Meeting End Time. Indicate stop time for meeting.

Available Until. Select a date for which access to the meeting expires for host and meeting attendees.

Enable Audio. Defaults to Yes to enable Voice over IP (VoIP) audio. To use an external conference line (phone) for meeting audio, click the drop-down arrow and select No, Use External Conference Line. The Conference Call Details text box is displayed.

Conference Call Details. This box is displayed only when an external conference line is chosen as the audio method. Type the dial-in phone number for the meeting and any applicable instructions, such as a personal identification number (PIN) required in joining the conference line.

4. Click Save button to create meeting. Meeting Has Been Successfully Created message is displayed.

As the host, only you can create and host meetings, and you are required to attend a meeting that you create. If there is a need for someone else to host meetings, contact your Jigsaw Meeting administrator about obtaining a host license. Although you cannot create meetings for another host, you can designate one of your meeting attendees to be a presenter in the meeting.

If you want to host a meeting but allow someone else to have certain host capabilities during the meeting, designate her as a Jigsaw Meeting Presenter (not Attendee) when you invite her to the meeting. You are not required to join the meeting as the host. After the designated presenter joins the meeting, other attendees are also able to join. The presenter can control video, upload assets, use the host’s existing assets (provided asset file security is configured to be available to everyone), and create and distribute surveys. She cannot otherwise edit the meeting time or invite other attendees.

For more information about host, presenter and attendee capabilities, see the Managing my Meetings FAQ.

See the Managing my Meetings FAQ for answers to these and other questions about editing meetings.
