Portal Guide - Conferencing

A conference is a virtual meeting room, allowing multiple people, both internal and external, to join a call. This is commonly used for staff meetings, or for discussions with multiple stakeholders.

Conferences are setup and managed through the My Account Portal, https://my.maxo.com.au/ by selecting Other Services then Conferencing.

The number of conferences currently used, along with the maximum number of unused conferences allowed within the current plan is displayed in the circle.

Before you can use conferencing, you need to create a meeting room by clicking the Add Conference button.

As a minimum, you'll need to specify the conference's name, and take note of the user PIN.
