MeetingZone

The University provides a dial-in worldwide telephone conferencing service for staff via MeetingZone:

   Can be used without making reservations

   Monitored and controlled through a browser as well as by the chairperson's (account holder's) phone

   Monitored for usage and an after-call email sent to the account holder noting the length of the call and the number of participants

 

 

Setting up a teleconferencing account

There are no set-up or rental charges for teleconference accounts. Once an account has been set up, you will be sent an email and welcome pack from MeetingZone, providing information including:

   Your unique Host Access Code and Participant Access Code

   Details of dial-in access numbers

 

 

Using your teleconferencing account

If you are chairing the call you will need to:

• inform participants beforehand of the dial-in number and the Participant Access Code unique to your account
• dial in and enter the Host Access Code to allow you to control (mute/unmute/record) the teleconference call

Participants will need to:

• key in the Participant Access Code to join the teleconference after hearing the greeting
• record their name when prompted

 

 

Dial-in numbers and costs

There are four key access numbers for this service. The first two of these limit the costs to the University without passing large costs on to other participants. Because you have unique participant and host codes, you can have a mix of dial in numbers for the call. 

Note: VAT will be added to all charges listed.
