enter OR enter into

Hi,

I just checked the forum's archives for some earlier enter/enter into - relating posts... skimmed over some of such posts.... but still unsure how to deal with the following "issue":

'to enter a video conference' OR 'to enter into a video conference'?

(1) When a new participant enters a video conference he/she will need ....
(2) When a new participant enters into a video conference he/she will need ....

but 'into' is mandatory in cases like this of course?

(3) To enter new documents into the video conference, you will need ...

Could you please comment on (1) ...(3)?
