Make a Conference Call

Overview

This article details the steps to make a conference call.

Use Dial-out Conferencing (Up to 4 users)

1. Dial users yourself and then push MORE until you can see CONF at the bottom.

2. Push CONF and you connect that person to a conference call.

3. Dial the next individual.

Use Call-in Conferencing (Up to 10 Users)

1. Have users call you (or a designated individual).

2. User pushes MORE until CONF appears at the bottom.

3. Push CONF to add the user to the CONF. However, a better way to do this is with a MEET ME conference.

Use Meet-Me Conferencing (Up to 15 users)

Note: All Meet Me conferences must be initiated inside the College network on a college IP phone.

1. Establish a conference number for each participant dial. The first is the campus number:

• 1 = Alexandria

• 2 = Annandale and Fairfax

• 3 = Loudoun

• 4 = Manassas

• 5 = Woodbridge

• 6 = Medical Education

2. The next 2 digits are 19. The last two digits can be any 2 numbers you like. Make sure the participants know the number you created.

3. Pick up your phone or push the speaker phone button for a dial tone. Push MORE until you get MEETME at the bottom.

4. Push MEETME.  It will ask for the number and then enter the 5-digit number you created.

5. Have the attendees call 703-323-2000, enter 1 for Meet Me and enter the 5-digit conference number. If they are inside the College, they can dial the 5-digits directly instead of the full long phone number 703-323-2000.

Note: There must be at least one participant on the conference call. If the last person on the conference call hangs up, the conference call will be terminated.
