Guests can join the videoconference by phone without needing access to videoconference facilities themselves, and without needing to be registered as users of the service. In booking the videoconference, the administrator simply selects a new guest type: “telephone (audio only)”, and enters the name and email address of the telephone participant. The telephone guest is then emailed a number to call into the videoconference.

management
A videoconference can include many venues but until now only a list of booked participants was displayed on the Conference Management pages. The upgrade means that live screen shots of participants are now shown instead, updating every 30 seconds (or shorter or longer if the user so decides). These screen shots are there throughout the conference, and are a visual aid for conference managers to see if a participant has arrived, if the codec is on, if there are any problems with one or more site’s video and so forth.
