US Patent 12015616 Conference security for user groups

Systems and methods for conference security based on user groups are disclosed. In examples, a set of attendees (e.g., in a collaboration group) may be allowed access to a meeting by a host user with a specified access permission. The collaboration group may be in the network hosting the meeting or outside of the network. An attendee requesting access to the meeting may be verified based on the attendee's identity and membership status of the collaboration group. If an attendee's identity is not identified or if the attendee is not a member of the collaboration group, the requesting attendee may be denied access to the meeting. If the requesting attendee's identity is verified and the attendee is a member of the collaboration group, the attendee is allowed access to the meeting with their specified access permission.
