Working groups dial-in & WebEx instructions
- Go to the email invitation that you received announcing the meeting, or go directly to WebEx: https://samsi.webex.com
- Click on the link for the meeting you want to join
- Enter Your Name, Your Email Address and the meeting password from the email invitation
- The first time you use WebEx, the Meeting Manager will run and it will take about a minute to setup.
- Now you are in the meeting and can use all the features of WebEx.
- Dial the teleconference line: 919-685-9338
- It is necessary to separately call into the given conference-line phone number to obtain audio interaction; we are not able to use WebEx for an audio connection. When calling in:
- do not use a computer microphone or a speaker phone; this causes severe feedback in the system;
- headphones and hand-held phones are fine.
- If cost of telephone calls is an issue, consider using either Skype or JaJah to place your calls to the conference line; these are virtually free within North America, and (for example) only cost roughly 2 cents and 3 cents per minute, respectively, from Europe.
- Please dial no earlier than 5 minutes prior to the start of the working group meeting.
Please note: You should be seeing the screen of the presenters. If not, please send a message or call for assistance. WebEx can run slowly on Unix machines.
If you are having trouble with WebEx or the Teleconference line please contact Sue McDonald (sue AT samsi DOT info, 919-685-9359) or James Thomas (help AT samsi DOT info, 919-685-9307).
You can learn more about WebEx and take tutorials at http://university.webex.com.
