mishaq posted:we scheduled a bluejeans meeting this morning because someone has used bluejeans with this customer previously and we didn't want to give them yet another conferencing system to fumble around with did you go from your skype 4 business 2 their skype 4 business or did they come in on some external 3rd party thing that connects to ur skype 4 business? I haven't done much research on it but seems to me the ability to have connectivity between organizations who are both using skype 4 business would be good.

yesterday i had my first conference call with a significant number of people involved, and the first 10 minutes was exactly like that conference call simulator website, with the confusion, muffled audio, and mute button requests. someone was playing pokemon or something and you could hear all the beeps and boops. after a while someone who was apparently on their phone in the car rolled the window down, so whooshing noise drowned out the presenter for a couple minutes. the meeting ran over an hour, was about our terrible insurance plan, and centered around a powerpoint. the presenter couldn't figure out how to screen share, so instead we watched a black screen while they described what the slides looked like.

all three of the conference rooms on this floor now have inactive or non-working phone conferencing. Over the course of the year we've seen it's failed and rescheduled our weekly team meeting in one, then another, and finally the largest 20 person room we walk in there today and the ipad thing is broken, good job telecommunications company your IT is worthless, now we have to go to another floor like refugees

in a multi-site conference call/presentation right now, the call is hooked up to the room speakers and is absurdly loud every 3-5 minutes there's this really loud noise over the speakers like somebody is playing sound effects of people getting punched and/or breaking glass. i wonder if one of our remote workers is getting murdered

i mean minus the shadows of course. instead he just describes the concept of shadows. eventually the lights turn out due to inactivity and everyone is left to find meaning in the static of the unmuted mic

FPS_Sage posted:*leaves email open full screen when starting WebEx* i love when my customers do this so i can see who else they're doing business with. i used to work with a shady gently caress that would just hang out on customer conference bridges, idling for the next meeting(s) to get the inside scoop on internal projects. IT sales is a dirty biz...

I haven't done much research on it but seems to me the ability to have connectivity between organizations who are both using skype 4 business would be good. the customer used their own Skype for business which was easy to connect to but trying to present was a struggle, even after they explicitly made me a "presenter" instead of an "attendee", which is the default permission for someone outside your organization lost more time dealing with that also gently caress who ever's idea it was to use blue jeans when the customer uses skype for business like we do normally

many moons ago I used to do remote training for our really lovely, really expensive image analysis tool. my standard procedure was to use the example pictures in Windows xp because they're always there and they're always the same. since the client was hosting the demo on their end I always asked before I went in there because I had to go through the My Pictures route. well, one call went like this. "I need some images to analyze, do you min of I use the sample pictures in My Pictures?" "yeah sure, go ahead... NBNNNLOOOoo" *content of my pictures flash on the screen, revealing 2000 really misogynic porn* his invite to the follow up lesson bounced, "no such address" lol
