Use of video camera/webcam

If you want to participate in a video conference, we recommend you use a camera. Video conferencing systems (Polycom, Lifesize or Cisco) have a good-quality camera. On a notebook/tablet/mobile device, you can use the built-in webcam/camera.

For optimum quality we recommend you use an external webcam/microphone (for tablets/notebooks with USB connection or desktops).

The hardware can be bought at the Selfservice Portal. LISA depends on the actual stock.

You can request a video conference via the Selfservice Portal: https://selfservice.utwente.nl.

As an applicant, you will receive an automatically generated acknowledgement e-mail. This message lists all the information required to set up the requested video conference.

You can forward this e-mail to all the participants in the video conference. The recipients can click on the shortcut in the e-mail to participate in the video conference via image and/or sound input.

NB: Before the start of the conference, BlueJeans informs every participant on how to participate through an introductory page.

UT staff can immediately start using BlueJeans free of charge.

NB: However, the caller/user still bears the regular costs for outgoing phone calls to phone numbers.

To use this service, you need an UT ICT account.

If you need any support, have a look at the Selfservice Portal and the manuals. If you have any other questions or you are faced with disruptions, contact the ICT Service Desk.

It is standard possible to invite 20 to 30 participants to a conference. This number can be increased in consultation to around 50 participants. Although we do not advise this. Depending on the type of event, it may be better to switch to an "Event" instead of a "Video Meeting".

A conference is automatically cancelled past the requested date. Therefore, you do not need to manually remove the requested conference.
