Conference Bridge System
Background
The conference system offered by Information Technology Services allows
a WSU employee to host or participate in a multi-party conversation
with almost anyone who has access to a telephone. The use of the
conference system is free with the only cost to the customer being
the long distance charges associated with dialing into the system.
In addition to its basic function the system also provides the following
key features:
Scheduling - The system provides for web based or
phone based scheduling by the end user so that scheduling may be done
at your convenience.
Notification - Provided that email addresses are provided
when scheduling a conference call, the system will automatically send
notification of the call to all conference participants.
Recording - If a participant is unable to attend, the
conference call may be optionally recorded so that the call can be listened
to at a later time.
In Session Features - During a conference call you
are able to listen to a roll call of meeting participants, mute the
line of a participant (to eliminate music on hold or background noise),
lock a meeting so that no one else may join and use outdial
to add in a participant who did not initially attend the call.
