When connecting to a videoconference meeting at IU, how do I enter a conference code or PIN number?
When connecting to a videoconference meeting at Indiana University, you may need to enter a conference code or PIN number. Because the remote controls for both the videoconferencing room and desktop videoconferencing systems are capable of transferring DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) tones (the same tones you hear when you use a telephone keypad), you can use the remotes to enter your conference code or PIN number:
From a Polycom or Tandberg group system
- On the remote control, press #.
This activates the DTMF tone dialer; you will see a keypad icon in the upper-right corner of your TV screen.
- Using the remote control, enter the conference or PIN number.
- To complete the entry, press #.
At Indiana University, for information on how to use the remote control for the Tandberg video system, consult IU's Tandberg Quick Start Guide (PDF).
From Movi desktop videoconferencing software
- Inside the Movi conference window, click the 3x3 grid icon
next to "Info".
- Movi will display a pop-up dialpad. Use the dialpad to enter your number, and then press # to submit.
