Meet-Me Conferencing provides the ability to reserve conference bridge ports for a conference call to be held at a scheduled date and time. The moderator (who has control of the conference) and other conference call members dial into the conference and are connected (at the appropriate time) to the conference call.
The Web Portal can help assemble email notifications for Meet-Me conference participants. A table of all conferences scheduled by the user has a column that displays icons to start the notification process. The FeatureTel Server provides the ability to send an iCalendar entry to the invitees' email so they can add the entry to their calendar. When the user clicks the Notification icon, they trigger the download of an iCalendar file according to the user's Web Browsers' settings. The e-mailed Appointment contains all the conference information such as:
- Conference date and time
- Dial-in numbers (Local and Toll-free)
- Guest or Participant ID
This release provides a new Conference Floor Control feature that gives the moderator and participants of a Meet-Me conference the ability to control the conference. The Floor Control function can be accessed using * codes over the phone or via the Voice Assistant application that is part of the Web Portal.
Also available: Reservationless Conferencing or 'Virtual Conference Rooms' - where you can call in anytime, enter a PIN number, and hold impromptu call-in conferences.
