Meet Me Bridge

What you need to know

The meet-me conference bridge feature allows multiple callers to join in a single call, which enables meetings among diversely located invitees at any time. Once the feature is installed, it can be used at any time without the need for scheduling or a reservation.

Administrators can set up and configure the meet-me conference bridge service within the admin portal for a group or location.

Feature Details

  • Multiple conference bridge owners (moderators) for a group/location can be assigned to the same bridge.
  • Each bridge supports up to 50 concurrent participants (ports), so customers will need to allocate their bridge owners based on an assumed level of oversubscription.
  • Bridge ports are consumed on a first come-first served basis among all conference participants and moderator hosts.
  • A Conference ID and Moderator PIN will be system generated for each moderator user assigned to a bridge and emailed.
