Dated - June 4, 2015
As part of enhancing its Video Conference capability, RCSI will commence from Monday 29th June 2015 using a new system for hosting IP only Video Conferences.
This system is for Video Conferences over IP only. It has no telephone participant facility
NEW VIDEO CONFERENCE SYSTEM OPTIONS
All video conference participants can enter a meeting either as a VC Virtual room participant and/or a Video Desktop participant
Participants can enter into the same VC Virtual room from both options
Details for both options will be supplied by RCSI Media Services to the conference organizer after they have booked the Conference on the Staff Portal.
OPTION 1 – A VC Virtual room participant will need access to a Video Conference system
OPTION 2 – Each Video desktop participant will require a web camera and headset for their laptop/PC (or microphone and speaker system) and be to access the supplied URL web address.
Video Conferences will continue to be ordered through the RCSI Staff Portal in the Media Services Dept. section of the Staff Portal but you will see the VC portal form being updated to reflect the new process.
Media Services Team Members will arrange training so all Conference organizers /users will have more control over the running of their own video conferences without the need to have a Media Services Team member on-hand.
Media Services Team Members will be available in the case of any RCSI systems failure.
If a participant does require to enter the meeting by telephone, they can do so by dialing into the phone that is on the table in the venue.
Please check with bookings@rcsi.ie / RCSI Estates that the venue you have booked has a conference enabled phone, if this is not the case RCSI Estates may be able to assist you in this.
