This is a quick guide to setting up conferences using Mitel Connect
There are two options for creating different types of conference:
Option 1
You can create a meeting in Mitel connect and schedule a specific time for the meeting. This then links with your outlook calendar and instantly provides you an email you can send out to the meeting participants.
To do this, open the Mitel connect app and click on the events tab:
From here, click the + symbol in the top right to create a new event.
On the new event window, fill in the desired settings. The important ones are the meeting name and times, if desired, the rest can be left as default.
For additional settings, click the ‘+ show settings’ button at the bottom, just above the create button. (The participant & organizer code boxes can be left blank).
Click the create button.
The event has now been created. An outlook meeting invitation should automatically open displaying all of the meeting info, this can now be sent to the desired participants.
You can also find this event and it’s information back on the Mitel Connect events page.
Option 2
You can create and manage permanent conference details using Mitel connect.
To do this, open the Mitel connect app and click on your name and extension number above the contacts tab:
Here you can review your conference details including the link for participants to use if you are doing a screen share / presentation.
To create new conference details, click on the ‘Add New Conference Bridge’ link.
On the new conference bridge creation window, you simply need to give the conference a name and review the settings. (Once again you can leave the organizer & participant codes blank as they will auto fill).
Click ‘Add’ and the conference should be displayed in the list and ready for use.
