Abstract
Described herein are methods and systems for joining a video conference endpoint to a video conference. A user may use a mobile device to take a picture of a Quick Response (QR) code or may place the mobile device in close proximity to a Near Field Communication (NFC) tag. Such QR code or NFC tag may be associated with a video conference endpoint. The user may then transmit the information encoded by the QR code or NFC tag, along with a meeting identifier, to a server. The server, in turn, may instruct a video conference endpoint identified by the QR code or NFC tag to join a video conference identified by the meeting identifier.
