Videoconference Services
Since 1989, thousands of people from Maine's nonprofit, state, education and business communities have used the University of Maine System videoconference systems for convenient, cost-effective meetings and events. We offer options that fit a wide range of presentations and budgets.
ITFS. Our most cost-effective option for those who wish to reach many Maine locations. You will be seen and heard by, but you won't see, your audience. Available to more than 80 locations statewide.
Compressed Video. This easy-to-use system is operated by the user and brings you face-to-face with your colleagues at conference rooms on University of Maine System campuses and at sites outside of Maine. Surprisingly, meeting on this system often costs less than a conference call.
Satellite Downlinks and Uplinks. We can downlink national teleconferences or uplink your own presentations and events.
For more information, contact Helene Turcotte, Operations Coordinator, at 1-800-696-1124 x 3302.
UMS Employees: Request a Videoconference Online
University employees now can request a multi-point videoconference online. Go to http://vc.maine.edu to input contact information, select the time and date from drop down menus, and check off which locations you require. This system will automatically create a work-order ticket and email you that tracking number.
Tech support staff will be notified, check the bridge for reservation availability and send you a confirmation email (usually within 24 hours). A document reviewing this process as well as help guides are available at: http://help.its.maine.edu/help/vchelpidx.
