Meet Me Conference (30)

DESCRIPTION

Meet Me Conference is offered by the Office of Telecommunications (OTC) to all faculty who wish to hold a call with 3 to 30 people.

How it works: OTC will activate a special line, which will be given prior to your conference. When this number is activated, it is open for your conferees to dial and join the conference.

The Meet Me Conference feature is advantageous to FSU customers in three respects:

  • SIZE: Meet Me Conference calls can include up to thirty people.

  • COST: Unlike three-way and six-way conferences, which are initiated by calls from on-campus lines, Meet Me Conference Calls are initiated by calls from the participants, whether they are on-campus or not. So when long-distance charges apply, they will be charged to the individual participants, not to the FSU department that arranged the Conference.

  • CONVENIENCE: Meet Me Conference is easy to reserve, and simple to use!

To Reserve, simply complete and submit a Telecommunications Service Request (TSR) to your OTC consultant. Your consultant will:

  • Schedule the Conference Call

  • Provide instructions

  • Activate the feature at the appropriate time

  • Verify the call is complete

  • Deactivate the feature at the appropriate time
COST
  • There is a one time $16.75 Order Processing Fee charge, for the FSU department who arranged the Conference.
  • Long-distance charges only apply to individual participants, not to the FSU department who arranged the Conference.

**Please note that rates are subject to change without notice and should be used for estimate purposes only.**

  • Confirm with OTC your conference has been reserved (Your consultant will provide you with number to dial).
