15 minutes in to the meeting, two of the participants are having trouble figuring out how to connect via Skype. a third called in directly but couldn't see any of the visuals. boss is trying to walk them through dialing in via email, and is giving them bad info. the trouble is perhaps in part because they've mandated we move to skype for business but the configuration doesnt' allow people outside our network to connect. this includes people at our divisions, such as in their HQ a mile up the road.

"Your meeting will start momentarily! Please continue to hold" says automated voice which has no idea at all whether a meeting is about to begin

"Okay, now that we're done with introductions, I will pass control over to Marcus for the remainder of the presentation." * 20 seconds of silence. Mouse cursor begins to move, clicks the close window button on the demo* "Marcus? You... Are you there? I think you closed..." *Cursor continues to fumble around* "The icon to... to the left... Can you guys hear me okay? We appear to be having some issues... I don't think Marcus can hear us" *30 more seconds of silence and occasional throat clearing go by* "Marcus." long pause "has joined the conference" "Hey guys sorry about that, I lost internet connection. Not sure what happened there." Not sure how he managed to control the mouse without a connection but

our voip system has built in conferencing and its pretty awesome and painless, you literally dial a phone number if youre not in the company and then a 3 digit code, if youre internal you just dial 7 and the three digit code screen sharing is built in but kinda meh

literally 12+ hours of conference call meetings this week, the first 3 hours was to agree to send an email for comments on the feedback from the meeting in order to discuss it in the next meeting i told them to gently caress off for the rest of them and that i'd only turn up if our pm came to me in person and told me it was necessary. he had to go to all of them and was not happy about it

we had the best meeting ever when one of the Bulgarian guys was done talking and handed over to someone else but didn't stop sharing his screen before idly browsing through a list of black cuckold porn. whole thing was recorded and uploaded to the intranet too e: oh ffs word filter  anyway I forgot the really shameful part. he was using Windows 10

so following up my company's turndown of our webex, boss went back and kicked and screamed until he got his back with the evidence of that hosed up Skype meeting in hand. this morning he asked me to spend a few minutes helping him test it, just the two of us. it took three separate meeting invites, two attempts to call in, and then it broke when he tried to record some of it to make sure that was working. gently caress me.

we got a new conference call system that's based on our extension and if the person hosting the call hasn't opened the line it just tells you that the number you dialed doesn't exist. obviously this has caused all sorts of hilarious issues with people who can't put two and two together
