Conference access management

BBM Enterprise Conferencing is a cloud-based service hosted by BlackBerry.

A BBM Enterprise user, activated using BlackBerry UEM, can create and participate in BBM Enterprise multi‐party calls provided their organization has purchased valid licenses and enabled users for the BBM Enterprise Conferencing feature.

The licenses will be available for review in the Licensing section of UEM, while the BBM Enterprise profile provides control of the ability to host conferences. For more information, see the BBM Enterprise Administration Guide for BlackBerry UEM.

Participants can join BBM Enterprise multi‐party conferences either via a BBM Enterprise chat or a conference link, in cases where browser‐based call participation is allowed by the organization.

The following additional controls are automatically provided by the BBM Enterprise Conferencing solution:
  • UEM administrators can restrict conferences to be accessible only from BBM Enterprise chats, thereby preventing browser‐based access using the following UEM policy in a given BBM Enterprise policy profile: Disable sharing of conference URL.
  • Administrators can remove participants from a given conference at any time.
  • Participants cannot join a conference after the conference invitation has expired.
  • Participants are forced to leave a conference as soon as or shortly after the host leaves the conference.
