After During an Engage meeting, the meeting window immediately displays in the foreground for the host when the first attendee joins the meeting.
From the Meeting Controls menu, hosts can access standard video call functionality, including the following actions:
- Mute/Unmute their own audio – If the host is not connected to the meeting audio, the Join Audio button displays. Hosts can select this button to choose how to join the meeting audio.
- Start/Stop their video
- View and manage the list of attendees – Hosts can view the video and audio status of each attendee. From the Manage Participants section, hosts can remove attendees from the meeting.
- If an attendee joined from a browser, that attendee can rejoin. If joining from the HCP Engage app, attendees are not able to rejoin the meeting.
- Chat with attendees – Does not display if chat is disabled
Ending an Engage Meeting
To end an Engage meeting:
- Select the End button on the Engage meeting window
- Select End from the call mode banner
- Select the End Meeting button from the Vault CRM tray icon
- Terminate the app window
When the host ends the meeting, the Engage meeting window closes. The Veeva CRM Desktop app is no longer in call mode.
The Veeva CRM Desktop app remains running in the background even after ending a call or closing the window.
If the host unexpectedly leaves the meeting for any reason, for example, losing internet connection, the host privileges are randomly assigned to an attendee. When the host rejoins the meeting, privileges are returned.
Sharing Content During an Engage Meeting as

When users share CLM, only relevant CLM presentations are available, based on Restricted Products, Allowed Products, and Account Segmentation for that specific call.
From the Veeva CRM Desktop app, hosts can immediately share downloaded presentations. If the presentation was not downloaded, hosts can still download the media files while in the meeting. For more information, see Downloading CLM Presentations.
To display a CLM presentation or a desktop window to attendees:
- Select the More Actions button on the call report.
- Select Start Meeting to display the Veeva CRM Desktop app in the foreground.
The media library window and call banner never display to attendees.
- Launch the appropriate content in either Normal View or Presentation View.
- Select Share from the meeting window to view the available Normal View and Presentation View windows, as well as available desktop windows.
- Select the appropriate window to share. For presentations in Normal View, the entire window is shared.
- Select the Start Slideshow button to display content in fullscreen Presentation View for the app to begin tracking the activity. For presentations already in Presentation View, the app immediately starts tracking the activity. Activity is tracked only in Presentation View, not in Normal View.
CLM overlays are not supported when hosting an Engage meeting online. Additionally, the highlighter pen and laser pointer are not available when sharing CLM content in the Veeva CRM Desktop app. As an alternative, users may highlight content using their mouse pointer.
Quick Sharing CLM Content in Engage Meeting
In the Veeva CRM Desktop app, the Present in Engage button displays in a presentation window when the presentation is in Normal View and there is an ongoing Engage meeting. Selecting Present in Engage displays the content in Presentation View and immediately starts sharing the window with attendees, allowing hosts to skip the standard navigation for sharing content. If a presentation is already in Presentation View but is not being shared, hosts can select Present in Engage from the right-select context menu to immediately begin sharing.
Tracking CLM Usage as

CLM content displayed during an Engage meeting is automatically tracked on the call. Users do not need to manually create a call detail or key message record before launching the Engage meeting.
A call key message is created for a presentation launched during an Engage meeting if the following conditions are met:
- The user is in a call
- The presentation is available for the call
- The presentation is in Presentation View and in the foreground
- The key message for a slide is displayed for more than 2 seconds
Duration tracking for a key message is paused when users display another window in the foreground while displaying a presentation slide.
The following information automatically associates to the call:
- Call Key Messages are created for each Key Message displayed longer than two seconds
- Call Detail records are created for products with a key message displayed
When the meeting is complete and the call is saved, the call and related Call Key Message and Call Detail records are saved. For meetings on the Veeva CRM Desktop app, the data is synced from the app to Vault CRM online.
To avoid sync errors, do not edit the call while the Engage meeting is in progress.
