GETTING STARTED
Meet Me or Voice Conference is a dial-in conference bridge. There is one
conference bridge number and a moderator must join the conference for all
participants to be connected. Each moderator will have a unique moderator code
and a participant code to give to participants.
This will be provided to you by Northland’s System Administrator.
The maximum number of participants is dependent upon the package that was
purchased by your organization. Check with your System Administrator.
The Conference Bridge Number is
315-671-5000. When you dial the
conference bridge number, an automated voice will ask for either your
participant code or your moderator code followed by the # sign.
When you enter your code, you will be asked to speak your name followed by the
sign. As a participant, you will be placed on hold until the moderator
joins.
