Remember, you only need an audio device to use GoToMeeting.
Speakerphone currently available in the learning technology centers:
Polycom Speakerphone
Model: Direct Connect Sound Station 2
The Polycom system is a very sensitive speakerphone – great addition to a phone conference OR a go to meeting held in a large room where the existing phone makes the interaction a bit difficult to hear (for example East Campus 5-112).
NOTE: You only need this speakerphone if you are meeting in an large room. If you are in your office, simply use your phone to conference into the GoToMeeting Session.
Where can you check this system out?
Osceola 2-116 (Gary Kokaisel x4812)
West Campus 3-326A (Daniel Charriez x1792)
East Campus 4-133C (Migdalia Otero x2425)
Winter Park Campus RM 142(Brian Bellisimo x6819)
DownTown Center (Lisa Yenke x3401)
