HOW TO SET UP A CONFERENCING CALL

Setting up a conferencing call is a piece of cake (yum) with PowWowNow. Businesses need to be able to run their meetings at a drop of a hat, and conference calls facilitate just that (we’re a poet and didn’t know it). Not only does it need to be super speedy to sign up, but it also needs to be quick to set up and join a conference.

Here's how you can get instant access to sign up, schedule and join an online conference:

START YOUR CALL IN 3 (THE MAGIC NUMBER) SIMPLE STEPS

1. Create an account
2. Share your details with your Guests
3. Dial-in and enter your PIN (forever rhyming) to connect

First things first. You need to sign up to the conferencing call service to get access to dial-in numbers and a unique PIN. You’ll have access to our UK geographic number (minutes usually included in your landline/mobile plan) and 16 international shared cost numbers (everyone pays for their own call).

2. SCHEDULE

Everyone likes an invite, right? Makes them feel special. When scheduling a conferencing call, send a calendar invite so you aren’t alone wondering how everyone forgot the meeting you’ve been planning for days.

THIS IS HOW TO SCHEDULE A CONFERENCING CALL:

1. Create a calendar invite as you would usually when you’re booking a meeting
2. Add the guests you want to invite, along with the date and time of the meeting and change the location to a ‘conference call’ or whatever tickles your fancy
3. Provide the dial-in numbers and PIN in the body of the invite and briefly explain how to join the call
4. Press send! Boom, now your colleagues can’t make any excuses if they don’t turn up

3. JOIN

When it’s time to join your call, all you need to do is enter your dial-in number and PIN. Make sure you’ve got it to hand to avoid any unnecessary hiccups!
If you are dialling in via our mobile app you can use our one click dial-in feature, which will input your PIN automatically.
State your name when prompted and you can begin your meeting! All aboard the call train *whoop whoop*
