When conducting a Phone Conference using Webex, you may use either your Personal Room or a Scheduled Meeting. Your Personal Room will always use the same Access Code while each Scheduled Meeting will have a unique Access Code (all recurrences of the same Scheduled Meeting will have the same Access Code). Decide if you would like to use your Personal Room or create a Scheduled Meeting. If you have many Meetings, you may use your Personal Room. If you would like increased security, use create a Scheduled Meeting for the benefit of a unique Access Code. Both session types can use the Room Lock that bars all entry.
Personal RoomLog into UConn Webex. Click on More ways to join.  Image Removed Image AddedCopy and share the Join by phone information. Continue to the next tab to learn how to begin the session.
Scheduled MeetingSchedule the conference as you would any other Meeting. Go to UConn Webex. Click on Schedule to create your Meeting. For detailed instructions on how to create a Scheduled Webex Meeting, visit the guide for scheduling Scheduling Webex Meetings.
When you are done scheduling, you will be directed to the meeting information page. The section at the bottom contains the relevant information.  Image Removed Image AddedEvery meeting in Webex will have the same phone number to dial; it is the Access Code/Meeting Number that directs your call to the correct meeting. You may share just the information circled, or you may use the Share button above to copy-and-paste all the information into an email or other communication. Since this is a Webex Meeting, participants can join using their phone (call), smartphone app, or computer regardless of how you (the Host) joinsjoin. Therefore you may want to share all the Meeting information instead of just the call-in information.
