The JVCS Booking Service provides a web interface which enables users to schedule meetings with schools, colleges, universities, research organisations and content providers months in advance. There is also a Conferencing OnDemand (COD) Service which allows users to launch a videoconference immediately. Currently, there is a project under way to integrate these Services into one web interface. This means users will only have to register for one service and will be able to book a videoconference or launch one immediately. It is anticipated the OnDemand integration project will finish by the beginning of the new academic year, September 2008.
Registering on the Booking Service
To start using the JVCS Booking Service, the first step is to register and check that your equipment is capable of meeting the quality requirements for these videoconferences. Please see the Quality Assurance Testing link above for further details.
For a checklist of what you need and how to book a videoconference see the Videoconference Booking Checklist. More extensive on-line help is available within the Booking Service itself..
Further information for users and administrators can found in our Admin & Policies section.
