Advantages to using MeetingPlace
There are several advantages to using MeetingPlace over the web or the conference features on your phone. The main advantages include:
- You never have to remember which phone number to dial for the meeting! The MeetingPlace phone number never changes so it’s the same for every meeting. All you need to know is the meeting ID.
- You can schedule meetings on your own without the assistance of an operator or administrative assistant. Plus, MeetingPlace is always available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
- You can schedule and attend meetings from any touchtone phone or from your Web browser.
- You don’t have to worry about notifying attendees about meeting information or meeting materials. When you schedule a meeting, MeetingPlace automatically sends notifications and meeting materials to all your meeting invitees provided that you supplied an email address for the participants when scheduling with the web.
- MeetingPlace enables you to use in-session features to better control your meetings. These features allow you to record the meeting, conduct breakout sessions, listen to a roll call and outdial to other users.
