Webex Conferencing System and Softphone
The UToledo Webex Conferencing System is an enterprise solution that combines hardware, software, and cloud services to
facilitate audio, video, chat, and screen sharing capabilities. This includes the
use of advanced room video endpoints and provides a high level of individual participant
support for desktops, laptops, and mobile devices.
One of the benefits of videoconferencing is the ability for both ends of the conference
to see and hear each other. This gives the participants the feeling that they are
meeting face to face. Video conferencing saves time by allowing meeting participants
to eliminate travel between another campus or site.
Your scheduled meetings can vary from:
- An Audio Bridge for multiparty telephone conference
- A Point-to-Point conference linking two meeting rooms
- A Virtual Meeting Room linking users via desktops and mobile devices
- A Multi-Point conference linking multiple sites end-points
- Any combination of the above
Scheduling a video conferencing meeting utilizing the University's Webex system can be done through the University's Webex site or by using Microsoft Outlook with the Webex plug-in located in the UT Software Center.
