Immediately, there’s no need to activate it. Simply follow the steps in the ‘Join or Host a meeting’ section.
When can I begin to use my account?
What information should I give to someone I invite to my meeting?
Give your participants the meeting date, start time, time zone, link to the dial-in telephone numbers and the participant passcode.
How do I alter the announcement on the BT MeetMe service when someone joins a call?
BT MeetMe settings can be changed online or via the helpdesk.
Options are available for both entry and exit of participants including: no announcement, a tone, a generic announcement ‘Someone has joined the call’, or a personal announcement that gives the participant's name.
What do I need in order to join a meeting?
All you need is a telephone and keypad, the dial-in number and passcode.
What is a Global dial in number?
BT MeetMe dial-in numbers allow participants to dial in to the meeting from anywhere in the world using a toll free or local number.
Local numbers are easier to dial and more cost-effective than using international or toll free numbers.
What if I need help during my meeting?
Press *0 on your telephone keypad during the call to reach a meeting coordinator who may ask you:
- who’s experiencing the issue?
- what problem are you experiencing?
- when did the problem occur?
- what telephone number did the person dial?
- what was the telephone number the person dialled from? Or 'the On-Net number’ if the person received an On-Net call back?
- what was the type of telephone used (e.g. mobile, landline, or IP phone)?
If unable to reach the operator using *0, please contact the helpdesk.
Can I stop and restart the recording during my call?
Yes, the chairperson can stop the recording by pressing *8 and start another recording by pressing *8 again.
In which countries is BT MeetMe available?
BT MeetMe is available in over 70 countries. You can view the complete list of BT MeetMe Global dial-in numbers here - https://www.btconferencing.com/globalaccess/meetme/
How do I improve the sound quality of my call?
* 6 - mute on / off – if you’re in a noisy environment or on a mobile phone, you can mute your line. Any participant can mute their own line when not speaking. This will reduce background noise in the meeting.
Try not to use a speaker phone. If unavoidable, use the mute function when not speaking and move any other meeting equipment - e.g. projectors - away from the microphones.
* 0 - operator assistance – use this function if you still find you’re having sound problems and a meeting coordinator will help you.
What is an international dial-in number?
An international dial-in number allows participants from over 70 countries to join the call with a local dial-in number, saving them the cost of an international call.
It can also be used by participants located in a country that is not listed, so they can use the international number of the country nearest to them.
