How can I ensure a quality web conferencing meeting?

Appropriate venue

It is important to select the right venue for your meeting or event. If this is a meeting where everyone will join via a device of their choosing, make sure it is a quiet place with a reliable network connection. If this is a meeting where some individuals will be remote and others will attend in person, please work with Enterprise Collaboration to schedule a space that is equipped and integrates with your preferred conferencing platform.

Make sure everything is up to date

If you are having trouble connecting, first check your internet connection. If that is stable and the issue still exists, check if your browser or operating system needs to be updated. Update your version of Microsoft Teams or Zoom Meetings by downloading the newest version from their respective vendors Microsoft Teams and Zoom.

If you continue to have issues, please contact the ITS Support Center.
