Conference Now is available for up to 6 callers (host and 5 guests), and may be used with any phone (including mobile phones). Conference hosts use their 5-digit telephone extension (which is the meeting code) to enable a teleconference call. Hosts must set a PIN for the conference system in advance; this only needs to be done once and must be done on campus.
