Note: If you use UniCom Basic, when you invite people by e-mail using Lync,
those who join using the Lync or Communicator console will be able to take
advantage of all features; however, those who join via web are limited to IM
conferencing only. The web-based joiners may see the option to join your
conference call by phone; even so, the call will be unsuccessful. However, if you
have an IU Exchange Outlook client, there is another way to allow people to join
your conferences via web and still participate with phone-based audio. See
“Starting a Conference Call from Outlook,” below.
Starting a
Conference Call
from Outlook
If you have an IU Exchange Outlook client, you may use the Schedule a Conference Call
feature in Outlook. Invitees may join using Lync or using a web browser. The invitation
that Outlook creates will contain a phone number that people can use to join the
conference call. In this case, web-joiners may connect to the conference using both the
Lync web application and their own call-in device, or choose either mode alone.
To Schedule a Conference Call in Outlook:
1. Click the Schedule a Conference Call button in the Outlook Button bar (if
available);
or
2. From the Outlook Menu bar, click Conferencing and then click Schedule a
Conference Call.
