Overview

Integrated VoIP enables meeting hosts, trainers, or event producers to use the Internet (or a private IP network) to deliver the voice aspect of a meeting, live online training or large event. Rather than using a traditional audio conference, participants use headsets and speakers connected to their computers to participate in the audio portion of the meeting. Many VoIP solutions experience delay and quality issues when compared to traditional audio conferencing.

Webex Personal Conference (Audio Only)

A Personal Conference meeting is an audio-only meeting similar to a conference call. This type of meeting allows you to start an audio conference and then optionally expand the
meeting to include an online meeting with video conferencing.

Personal Conference / Audio Only Meeting

Overview

A Personal Conference meeting includes an audio portion and an online portion. Start the audio portion and the online portion will automatically be created on your Webex site. Suppose you are in the audio portion of the meeting and need to share a presentation, document, or application with meeting participants. In that case, you can start the online portion of the meeting, and the participants can join it while still participating in the audio portion. The host needs to set up their Audio Pin and save it before being able to generate the Personal Conference meeting account information. The host access code and host pin need to be entered for the host to start the meeting. You can find more information about requirements and limitations related to Personal Conferences here - Compare Webex Meetings Types.
