How can I mute my line? Is it possible to prevent or reduce static, background noise, coughs and other noises from my ReadyConference Plus call?
*6 — Participant Self-Mute
Press *6 to mute or un-mute your own line. (Especially useful for smaller conferences)
*96 — Moderator Mute AllPress *96 for muting options for all participant (not speaker) lines:
- Option 1 allows participants to un-mute their line (*6) at any point after *96 is initiated.
- Option 2 requires the moderator to un-mute all lines via the *97 command.
A recorded message informs all participants that mute is activated.
*97 — Moderator Un-mute AllPress *97 to un-mute all participants. A recorded message informs all participants that mute is deactivated. Moderator mute/un-mute is especially useful for larger groups and non-interactive presentations.
How do I identify the source of an echo or static on my ReadyConference Plus call?
Echoes and static are usually caused by a single bad connection, poor inbound line quality or faulty end-user audio equipment. In rare cases, more than one source may exist.
To identify the source:
- Ask if there is anyone on the call who does not hear the echo/static. The participant who can't hear the audio problem is usually the source of it.
- Have the moderator press *96/Option 1. Then roll-call one by one, asking each participant to un-mute their line (*6) and say their name.
Once identified, advise the participant to press *6 to mute their line or disconnect and dial in again.
The individual caller can also try:
- Switching from their mobile to a land line
- Turning off speakerphone
- Picking up the handset
- Disconnecting hands-free devices
If you're still hearing an echo, press *0 for operator assistance to isolate and resolve the issue.
How do I access my ReadyConference Plus recording for playback?
After your conferencing, you will be sent an email with dial-in numbers and passcode to access your conference recording.
Please note that there will be a charge for accessing the replay. The replay access charges are based on the moderator's location.
Your replay will be available for 30 days. If you would like a permanent copy of your conference recording, we can provide this via CD or FTP. Please contact our
Customer Support team when booking your conference to arrange this.
How do I end an audio recording that I started with *22?
There are two options for discontinuing your recording:
- Press *22/Option 1 to pause the recording. Your recording will automatically archive once all participants have disconnected.
- Press *93 to terminate your conference. Participants will be disconnected while moderators will remain on the call. Your recording is ended and archived automatically.
Do I need any special equipment for an audio conference?
No. You can lead or participate in an audio conference from any telephone.
How can I ensure the best audio quality?
Use a telephone handset. Handsets usually have better sound characteristics than speakerphones and headsets. If you must use a headset, make sure it is high-quality and free from defects.
Use a landline. Landlines offer better audio quality and sustained connectivity.
Avoid using speakerphones. They can degrade call quality with echo, ambient and white noise.
If you must use a speakerphone, avoid ambient noises that may distract other callers:
- Make sure your line is muted (*6) when you are not speaking
- Speak close enough to the microphone to be properly heard
- Keep extraneous table-level noise (typing, paper shuffling) to a minimum
How many phone lines can connect to my call with ReadyConference Plus?
Up to 75 phone lines can dial in to your conference call, including the moderator.
Can I edit my conference passcodes?
- Log into your account.
- Select the conference you want to edit.
- Under the passcode listings, click Modify This Conference.
- Select Change Passcodes
How can I be sure all callers have disconnected at the end of a call?
Press *93 to disconnect all participants. Moderators will remain on the call. (Note: This feature is only available to the moderator.)
Can international participants join my audio conference?
Yes. You have three options with ReadyConference Plus:
- Moderators can instantly dial out to anyone, anywhere in the world by pressing *95. This feature is optional.
- Your international participants can dial one of 70+ local or ITF phone numbers around the globe.
- Your international participants can dial the local number (international long-distance charges apply).
