Welcome to the Eyre Meet Help Center! In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of creating Peer-to-Peer (P2P) meetings in Eyre Meet, enabling you to have secure, direct communication with your colleagues, clients, or partners. P2P meetings offer enhanced privacy and security, making them ideal for sensitive discussions.

What is a P2P Meeting?

A Peer-to-Peer (P2P) meeting in Eyre Meet allows participants to connect directly without relying on a central server for communication. This direct connection reduces latency and enhances privacy, ensuring that your conversations remain secure.

P2P technology is particularly useful for one-on-one meetings or small group discussions where security is a priority.

How to Create a P2P Meeting in Eyre Meet

Follow these simple steps to set up a P2P meeting in Eyre Meet:

Step 1: Log in to Your Eyre Meet Account

  • Go to the Eyre Meet website or open the Eyre Meet app on your device.

  • Enter your username and password to log in.

  • If you don’t have an account yet, click on Sign Up and follow the instructions to create one.

Step 2: Start a New Meeting

  • Once logged in, navigate to the Dashboard.

  • Click on the + New Meeting button, located in the top-left corner of your screen.

Step 3: Invite Participants

You can now invite participants to your P2P meeting by entering their email addresses or by sharing the meeting link directly. Invites will be sent to notify them about the meeting.

Remember, P2P meetings are best suited for small groups, so limit the number of participants for optimal performance.

Step 3: Select Start Secure Meeting Option

  • In the Setup New Meeting page, choose Start Secure Meeting. This option ensures that your meeting will use a direct, peer-to-peer connection for secure communication.

  • Your selection is saved automatically.

Step 5: Start the P2P Meeting

Once you have configured the settings and invited your participants, click Start Meeting.

You will see a notification confirming that the meeting is using a P2P connection.

As participants join, their connections will be established directly with yours, ensuring secure, private communication.

Tips for a Successful P2P Meeting

  • P2P meetings depend on the quality of each participant’s internet connection. For best results, make sure all participants have a stable connection.

  • To maintain high-quality audio and video, limit P2P meetings to 2-4 participants. Larger meetings may benefit from using Eyre Meet’s standard server-based meeting option.

  • For additional security, join the meeting from a secure, private network rather than a public Wi-Fi connection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About P2P Meetings

Can I record a P2P meeting in Eyre Meet?

Yes, you can record a P2P meeting, but the recording will be stored locally on your device since the data doesn’t pass through a central server. Make sure you have enough storage space available.

What happens if my internet connection drops during a P2P meeting?

If a participant’s internet connection drops during a P2P meeting, their connection will be lost, and they will need to reconnect. The other participants can continue their conversation.

Are P2P meetings more secure than regular meetings?

P2P meetings offer enhanced privacy by establishing a direct connection between participants, making them ideal for sensitive conversations. However, both P2P and server-based meetings in Eyre Meet are encrypted for security.
