Protecting scheduled meeting in physical room

At least one non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed cause at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving at least one scheduled videoconference meeting for a physical conference room from a videoconference server, the videoconference server configured to host a multi-endpoint videoconference meeting between a local endpoint associated with the physical conference room and a remote endpoint the physical conference room having a control panel that controls the videoconference meeting;
• determining whether a first videoconference meeting within the at least one scheduled videoconference meeting has been designated as a locked meeting;
• in response to the determining:
• suppress display on the control panel of meeting information for the first videoconference meeting;
• lock out access to the first videoconference meeting through the control panel within the physical conference room, such that the first videoconference meeting cannot be joined from within the physical conference room while the lock out is maintained;
• detecting within the physical conference room a device associated with an entity invited to a first videoconference meeting:
• suspending, in response to the detecting, the suppressing display such that the meeting information for the first videoconference meeting is displayed on the control panel;
• suspending the lock out of the control panel to permit joining of the first videoconference meeting in response to the detecting and subsequent verification of a received meeting identifier;
• joining the first videoconference meeting during suspending of the lock out;
• and
• resuming the lock out after failing to detect the device for a predetermined period of time;
• wherein the suppressing display and the lock out do not apply to a video conference that is designated as unlocked.

A system comprising:

• a videoconference server configured to host a multi-endpoint conference meeting;
• and
• a local endpoint associated with a physical conference room in communication with the videoconference server, the local endpoint configured to perform operations comprising:
• receiving at least one scheduled videoconference meeting for a physical conference room from a videoconference server, the videoconference server configured to host a multi-endpoint video conference meeting between a local endpoint associated with the physical conference room and a remote endpoint;
• determining whether a first videoconference meeting within the at least one scheduled videoconference meeting has been designated as a locked meeting;
• in response to the determining:
• suppressing display on a control panel of meeting information for the first videoconference meeting;
• lock out access to the first videoconference meeting through the control panel within the physical conference room, such that the first videoconference meeting cannot be joined from within the physical conference room while the lock out is maintained;
• detecting within the physical conference room a device associated with an entity invited to the first videoconference meeting;
• suspending, in response to the detecting, the suppressing display such that the meeting information for the first videoconference meeting is displayed on the control panel;
• suspending the lock out of the control panel to permit joining of the first videoconference meeting in response to the detecting and subsequent verification of a received meeting identifier;
• joining the first videoconference meeting during suspending of the lock out;
• and
• resuming the lock out after failing to detect the device for a predetermined period of time;
• wherein the suppressing display and the lock out do not apply to a video conference that is designated as unlocked.
