Conference Call

Conference Call Information

There is two good options available for conference calls: (1) Zoom (where you send out a link to the call in advance); or (2) Using our Cisco VoIP phones (where you add callers to a line).

Below are instructions and links for how to utilize each of these options.

• A browser window will open prompting you for your Federated Identity Service identikey and password credentials. Click Continue.
• This will automatically create your account and log you in.
