Conferencing

UAS provides audio conferencing services through our Cisco telephone system: Conference Now. Every campus phone number can be used to generate a conference room to collaborate with your peers, on and off campus.

Connecting to a conference

  1. Dial 907-796-6600 (or 6600 if using a campus phone)
  2. Input the meeting number followed by the pound (#) symbol
  3. Input the PIN if you are the meeting host, otherwise press (#) to continue
  4. As an attendee, input the attendee access code, followed by the pound (#) symbol

Please be aware

  • Attendees who join a conference before the host arrives will be placed on hold (with music) and automatically join the conference when the host arrives.
  • You will hear tones when attendees join/exit a conference.
  • The conference will end after the last participant leaves.
  • Hosts can initiate a conference from any phone (cell phones, campus phones, etc.).
  • Conferences can support up to 24 participants (this can be increased if needed).
  • Meeting numbers are comprised of two zeros preceding the host's extension: 00XXXX.
