Meet-Me Audio Conferencing

NOTE:

 Not to be confused with AT&T Meet-Me Audio Conference rooms, which require operator assistance to set up.

Overview of Meet-Me Audio Conferencing

  • Meet-Me is a great alternative to the standard conference call whereby users must first call another party and connect (“pull”) them into the conference.
  • Meet-Me conferences can be booked when you need to have a meeting with several people in different geographical locations or when you can’t reserve a conference room.
  • Meet-Me allows hosts to simply press a softkey on their Cisco IP phone to start the Meet-Me Audio Conference, and participants call the directory number to join in. 

Meet-Me Features and Facts

  • Booking a conference room is simple!
    NC State University has 10 different Meet-Me Audio Conference rooms that can be reserved via Google Address Book.
  • Any IP phone user can initiate a Meet-Me Audio Conference session.
    No account set up or service to order!
  • Meet-Me Audio Conference rooms support up to 15 participants.
    If you need to host a meeting for more than 15, just contact a member of the UC team.
  • Meet-Me Audio Conference rooms are NOT secure.
    This means that any person could accidentally dial into the conference bridge.
    To acquire your own unpublished Meet-Me Conference bridge for your department, contact a member of the UC team.

 Overview of  Webex Personal Conferencing

  • Personal Conferencing audio connection mode lets a meeting host quickly start the audio portion of a Cisco Webex meeting at any time.
  • The meeting host and participants simply dial the same call-in number, enter access codes, and the audio portion of the meeting begins.
  • The meeting host and participants can also join the online portion of the meeting, which is automatically created when the audio meeting begins, to share information or collaborate on an idea.
  • The meeting host is not required to schedule Personal Conference meetings in advance, and once generated, the access codes do not change.
  • Before you schedule or start a Personal Conference meeting, you must create a host PIN and at least one Personal Conference account.
  • For each account, the software generates unique host and participant access codes.
  • The system prompts you for these codes after you dial a call-in number to start or join a Personal Conference meeting.
