Conference bridge

The conference organiser prepares, via a Self Service Portal, a conference room and e-mails an invitation to this conference, indicating the topic, date and time, internal and/or external dial-in number and conference PIN.

The conference participants choose, at a predefined time, the internal or external dial-in number and are connected with the conference. An audio guide assists the conference participants during the dial-in.
