old people will never be able to figure out conference calls because they don't understand the core concept of buttons in the meeting application vs buttons on the phone.

who needs an online meeting when you have a polycom phone!! actually screw the polycom just dial on your lovely cell phone and toss it into the middle of the conference room table on speaker, hearing the other party as nothing but intermittent voices that sound like a 8kbps mp3 is a good way to communicate

i had an anti-clusterfuck meeting today i finally goto to use our executive conference room. this room is equipped with a full-room audio setup, all run from an ipad bolted to a stand. every seat has a microphone on an adjustable stem and each has a big mute button with a nice, bright led indicating whether you were on or not. the audio was great - the echo cancellation was perfect, the voice quality was amazing and everything just worked. too bad we probably spent a bare minimum of 6.5 figgies making this one conference room not suck (especially since its also soundproofed because SENSITIVE BUSINESS STRATEGY)

Is there ever really a reason why you need an online meeting and you couldn't just send and email or was so important you couldn't just send the person there?
