Searching for a Contact

The Search function looks for systems registered with the OTNhub eVisit (Videoconference) service, either room-based or personal systems.

The search looks for matches in the following OTN Directory Profile fields:

Personal Room-based
  • Speciality
  • Legal first and last names
  • Preferred first and last names
  • Organization
  • City
  • System name
  • Site name
  • Organization
  • City
  1. To access the search page, tap Search in the bottom navigation bar.
  2. To set up the search, tap the Search field and type the first few letters of your search term.
    • Type at least two characters in the Search field.
    • The more characters you type, the better the search results. For example, if you type SMI the search will find names such as Smiley Robinson or Ginger Smith. (It will not find Wesmill Aardvark or Joe Blacksmith.)
  3. To start the search, tap the Search button.

A list of matching systems appears in order of relevance – entries that most closely match your search criteria appear first.

The search results include the following for each system:

Personal Room-based
  • First and last names of system's registered owner
  • Organization
  • System name
  • Room name
  • Site name


Using the Search Results list, you can:

  • View contact details.
  • Connect () and start a one-on-one videoconference with the contact.
  • To view the action buttons for a name in your search results, swipe-left on the contact’s name.
