Does your unit make regular conference calls? If so, encourage your colleagues to use <\/span>BlueJeans<\/span><\/a> to schedule their own calls moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting in July, a relatively small number of people in the U-M community who contacted university operators for assistance will need to set up conference calls themselves. ITS and Student Affairs will discontinue <\/span>operator-assisted conferencing calls<\/span><\/a> on June 30, 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Operators have been using BlueJeans, U-M\u2019s preferred conferencing service, to schedule calls. An account is needed to schedule and moderate BlueJeans meetings, but all participants can join without an account.<\/span><\/p>\n
