Creating a message to display for blocked users

Before you block a user, you may want to create a message to display on the user’s monitor when they are blocked. For example, “Please turn your attention to the speaker.” Station blocked is the default text if you do not create your own message.

To create a message to display for blocked users

  1. In MultiPoint Dashboard, click the Home tab.

  2. Click the Block drop-down menu, and then click Set Message. The Set Message for Blocked Users page opens.

  3. Type the message you want to display on the blocked station(s), and then click OK.
