Q: What is the Call-Me feature and how does it work??
A: The “Call-Me” feature is part of ZipDX that can be set to automatically call you when your conference call is about to start.
What is Call-Me?
Most conference systems expect you to make the phone call to connect to the conference bridge. But sometimes you lose track of time or just forget. We can call you.
When your conference is about to start, we will call the number(s) you supply (or that have been supplied on your behalf). If there are multiple numbers in your list, they will be called simultaneously unless you explicitly specify a sequence.
When you answer, you’ll be asked to press “1” to accept the call. (Any other phones will stop ringing.) You’ll then be guided into your conference; the first time (only) you’ll be asked to record your name.
Your numbers are stored in your Profile and can be updated by you at any time.
