Teleconferencing can be considered as a meeting conducted over phone lines between two or more individuals or groups of people at different locations. The wide range of teleconferencing equipment available today makes conferences possible between both large and small groups with little regard to the problems of widely separated geographic locations. A well planned teleconference is a powerful tool in bringing people together without incurring travel, lodging, and meal expenses. This type of call is required for all conference calls with more than 6 participants. A maximum of 28 participants may be included.
Calls are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis.
The total charge is billed to the originator on the monthly Telecommunications statement. Additional parties may be added if this last party dialed will follow the three instructions above. If a campus number is dialed, the chain effect of adding parties is stopped. Parties may hang up when they wish, except that one of the remaining parties must be within KSU telephone system to continue the call. When transferring, consulting, or adding a party which is busy or does not answer, depress the switch hook twice to reconnect with the original party.
