Video Conference Request Form

Please use the Video Conference Request Form when a VC booking is required.

Please try to submit a week in advance to allow enough time for any trouble- shooting that may arise.  Whenever possible, please avoid submitting a request on the same day video conferencing is scheduled.  There may not be enough time or bandwith to complete the request, especially if troubleshooting is required.

Thanks!

Why Choose Videoconferencing?

About this Guide

This guide is intended to orient first time users to videoconferencing using the K-Net Network of Video Conferencing equipment, while focusing on specific issues related to videoconferencing.

Overview

A videoconference makes it possible for people at different sites to join in the same conference or class at the same time through the "magic" of two-way audio and two-way compressed video. Because of special cameras, viewing monitors, and microphones at each location, you will be able to interact with others at distant sites as easily as you can with those located at your own site. This technology allows users in remote or distant locations to meet the educational and professional needs of people in their home communities without boarding an aircraft, or taking an expensive journey.
