Scheduling A Polycom Video Conference For Malone Hall

Scheduling of a multi-user Polycom video conference is coordinated by JHU's Video Network Operations Center (VNOC).

When Do You Need To Schedule A Polycom Video Conference For Malone Hall?

Scheduling a conference is required when you want more than two participants in the conference (i.e., multi-user.)

If it's only a point-to-point call (one video system connecting to another video system), you do not need to schedule a conference. However, if you want more than two endpoints to connect to a conference, the conference needs to be on "the bridge" maintained by JHU's Video Network Operations Center (VNOC), and therefore, requires scheduling.
