If you have a need to set up a teleconference calls, you have a couple of options.
Skype
For most faculty and staff, Skype is a quick and viable option. Skype is available to install through the Software Center on campus computers, and requires a web camera and a microphone. If your computer is not equipped with one, IT Procurement Services can assist in purchasing one for your computer. Approximate cost for a USB webcam is also found on IT Procurement's current computer configuration sheets.
You will need to use your Microsoft account (usually your faculty or staff account) to login to Skype. If you do not have one, you can create one.
