Collaborate with others virtually
Virtual Meeting Room is a virtual meeting space where multiple participants both internal and external can call in using video and/or voice to collaborate in a single conference call. Participants call into a virtual meeting room and are automatically connected, removing the responsibility for one person to setup the video conference. Virtual meeting rooms can be secured with a PIN for private meetings internal or external to Griffith, or open to public for forums or large scale conferences.
Meeting internal participants only?
Try using Microsoft Teams - an online meeting experience with audio, video, chat, screen sharing and document editing all in one place.
Benefits of a Virtual Meeting Room
- Multiple participants can call into your meeting from anywhere in the world.
- Participants can dial themselves into your meeting at their own convenience.*
- More sustainable, cost-effective way to meet rather than traveling between campuses.
- Increases opportunities for participants to attend remotely.
- Attendance can be restricted using a password.
