      Teleconference FAQ

      How do I join the two-day Teleconference?
      After registering for our two daily webinar sessions (Wed, May 17th and Thur, May 28th) you’ll receive confirmation emails with a unique link, phone number and meeting ID to join each day.

      Do I have to call in, or can I use my my computer to listen in?
      In order to ensure that we’re able to offer the best audio quality possible our Teleconference will be phone audio only. Computer audio relies on wifi which can be spotty for some panelists or attendees.

      Is there any cost to attend?
      Nope! Our annual National User Group is dedicated to providing additional training opportunities to our valued Vision clients and is already included in your annual maintenance and support package.

      How many team members can register?
      All of your team members and office personnel who you think would find our sessions useful are welcome to attend!

      Can I register for specific sessions?
      To simplify the registration process you only need to register once for each day. Each day will have a unique meeting link and dial-in that will be emailed to you upon registration. Also, reminders will be emailed to you one week, one day, and one hour before each day’s sessions begin.

      What if I can’t attend both full days?
      No problem! You are free to sign on or off our Teleconference whenever you’d like. Don’t worry, you won’t be locked out if you’re late or want to take a break and sign back in later!

      Will you still be offering Open Sessions with the Vision Support and Appraisal Team?
      Yes! When visiting our Teleconference Agenda page you can request a Calendly appointment with the Vision Support or Appraisal Team between the hours of 3:30pm-5:30pm on Thursday, May 28th.

      Will I be on video, and will other people be able to hear me?
      Due to a large number of participants, you will not have your video activated, and will be muted during the Teleconference so everyone can hear our panelists and presenters. You may have the option to type questions into our chat module during the Teleconference depending on the session.

      Do I need to download anything beforehand?
      When you’re ready to join each day’s sessions you will be prompted to download Zoom. You will be logged in as a participant and will need to dial in on the phone number provided in your confirmation email and input our meeting ID followed by the # sign. If you are unable to download zoom there will also be a link to start the session directly through your internet browser. If you do choose to use your browser we recommend using the latest version of Google Chrome or Firefox for the most reliable performance.
