Problem Statement: How to make your custom meeting template, selected as default template on creating new meeting rooms.

Environment:

• This article is applicable only to Adobe Connect On-Premise (licensed) installations.
• This is not applicable to Adobe Connect Hosted customers.

Solution:

First, take a backup of sco_edit.xsl from <CONNECT_HOME>/appserv/apps/meeting/sco_edit.xsl on Adobe Connect server.

Next, follow the steps:-

1. Create a new meeting using default meeting template and launch the room.
2. End the meeting room (do not simply exit)
3. Move the room to Shared Meetings > Shared Templates folder.
4. append ?mode=xml to the meeting room URL (e.g. http://name.com/meetinga/?mode=xml)
5. Get the source-sco-id=’xxxxx’
6. update sco_edit.xsl by, replacing the default source-sco-id=’-8888′ with
   the source-sco-id=’xxxxx’ of the required custom template.
   Note: source-sco-id needs to be replaced at 2 locations as seen below in the snapshot
   
7. Save the changes and Restart the Connect Services.
8. If you now try creating a new meeting room, you will select the custom template selected as default.
   

Additional Information:

1. If you have an existing meeting room in the shared templates folder, you may use it as a default template for newly created room.
2. Also, get the source-sco-id, using database query-
   Select SOURCE_SCO_ID from pps_scos where sco_id= ‘1111’
   Note: ‘1111’ represents the actual Sco-ID of the meeting.
