Cisco Conference Call: Call Participant Guide
This guide will detail the steps necessary for a conference call participant to access and join a conference call session through their phone. This document is part two of two documents that detail how to properly access and utilize this feature for both call hosts and for call participants.
- As a call participant you will begin by dialing into the conference main number x4500 if you are dialing from an Oakland University phone, or by dialing (248)370-4500 if you are calling from a non-campus phone.
- You will be prompted to entering a “Meeting Number”. This number will be provided to you by the conference call host. By default this will be the hosts normal four digit campus extension, but they will provide the number you will need to dial to enter their conference call session.
- After you enter the “Meeting Number” you will asked one of two different prompts depending on if the host has begun the session or not:
Prompt One: If the host has not begun the session you be prompted to enter a Personal PIN if you are the call host, or if you are not the host to press the “#” key. Participants will press “#” at this prompt. You will then be asked to enter an “Attendee Access Code”. The call host will provide this code to you prior to you joining the call.
Prompt Two: If the host has begun the session you will be prompted to enter the “Attendee Access Code”. This code will be provided to you by the conference call host prior to you joining the call.
- Once you have entered the “Attendee Access Code” at either of these two prompts you will either be placed on hold if the call host has not started the session or you will be automatically joined to the session if the call host has begun the session.
If you have any difficulties with joining a conference session as a participant please contact your call host. They will be able to confirm the “Meeting Number” and the “Attendee Access Code”, as well as gather information for further investigation by campus central IT.
