Conferencing Center
Overview
IP Office Conferencing Center is comprised of two web-based graphic user interfaces (GUI), the
Scheduler and the Web Client. The Conferencing Center Scheduler allows users to schedule and
manage conferences; the Web Client allows participants to join web conferences that act as
supplements to scheduled audio conferences. A conference can be booked as a stand-alone audio
conference or booked in conjunction with a web conference where real-time voting, presentation display
and mute all can be initiated by the conference host.
