Launch of Self-Connect functionality for videoconference events
Connecting and reconnecting to your events just got easier! A SELF CONNECT feature is now available for multipoint calls in studio-based systems.
Thanks for your feedback. This feature is being implemented to give you the flexibility and control needed to reduce delays and to more easily connect and re-connect to an event. We’ve also made it possible for you to self-schedule and modify events in Ncompass or TSM up to five minutes before an event’s start time.
Here is an overview of all the ways you can self-connect to a videoconferencing call:
NEW! Studio-based multipoint
- Connect and reconnect to your scheduled multipoint event (three or more systems) using the studio-based system’s remote control to dial the event ID number.
- For more information, access this short training video to learn how you can self-connect to your scheduled multi-point events.
- Note: You are joining an event in progress. To ensure maximum privacy, please mute your microphone before you join the event.
NEW! Modify a Scheduled Event
- Modify or create a scheduled event through TSM/Ncompass up to 5 minutes before an event. The event will lock 5 minutes prior to your event. For any last minute modifications, call OTN Technical Support at 1 855-654-0888 and press option 1
- Please note that Webcasted events and off-net systems are excluded. For modifications to scheduled webcast events, you will still need to call Technical Support up to 3 hours prior to the event.
Available Now: Personal Videoconferencing Point to Point
