Attending a Telephone Conference Call

If you are attending a meeting that includes a Latitude MeetingPlace^TM telephone conference call, information about the call appears in the bottom right corner of the Meeting Room. (If you are in a broadcast meeting, the call information appears only on the Meeting Details page. Choose Meeting - Meeting Details to see the call information.)

Note You can use Sametime to schedule a telephone conference call only if your Sametime server includes this capability. See your system administrator for more information.

You can attend the call by having MeetingPlace call you or by dialing into the conference call.

Have MeetingPlace Call You

1. Click the Join Call button in the top right corner of the Meeting Room.



2. Enter your telephone number in the "Join Telephone Conference Call" dialog box. (If there is no field to enter your telephone number, you must dial into the conference call. See the procedure below for more information.)



3. Click OK. MeetingPlace calls you using the number you provided.



4. Pick up the telephone when it rings. You are automatically in the meeting when you answer the telephone.



5. If your telephone does not ring, or if you get disconnected, you can dial into the telephone call using the information listed in the Meeting Room and in the meeting details.

Note If you are in a broadcast meeting, the button for attending the telephone call is not available. You must use the call information on the Meeting Details page to dial into the telephone call.

Dial into the Telephone Call

If you click the Join Call button and there is no field to enter your telephone number, you can dial into the telephone call.

1. Dial the telephone number listed in the Meeting Room.



2. Enter the MeetingPlace Meeting ID and, if required, a password to join the call. The Meeting ID and password are listed in the Meeting Room and in the meeting details.

Note The system administrator determines how you can attend telephone conference calls. If you experience problems attending the conference call, contact your administrator.
