HEADING-PRIMARY

Holding meetings by teleconference can help save time and reduce travel. Optus has two options for audio teleconferences.

Optus ExecutiveMEET provides on-demand conferencing allowing you to initiate a conference 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – without needing to make a reservation or relying on an Operator. Holding a conference is as simple as dialling a phone number and entering a Conference Code.

Optus EventMEET audio conference calling is a scalable, customised conferencing solution that will streamline and manage your most demanding conferences. Your Optus event manager will tailor the event to your needs, including audio checks, pre- and post-call support, question/answer management, recording or transcription, and participant polling, to ensure you get everything you need from your call.

For meetings with a visual component add our web conferencing services or go beyond teleconferencing to life-size, high-definition interactions with Optus Managed TelePresence.

• Help menu;

• Conference volume control;
• Participant identification on entry or exit;
