Conference introduction

Set the tone for your conference call and record a personalized introduction for your attendees. Moderators are able to record an introduction to their conference by using the *32 control. This introduction is exclusive to a set of pass codes and will be played before the participant is authorized to enter the conference but after all other feature prompts. The moderator may re-record or disable this introduction at any time.

Benefits
 
A moderator can promptly record a conference introduction, and activate it without added support.
This special feature is offered to any SaveOnConferences moderator.
For moderators with multiple conferences and pass codes, a different introduction can be recorded for each conference.
 
How to use conference introduction
 
To trigger this feature, you enter the conference using the moderator pass code and press *32. You will then hear the following prompt. "Press 1 to record your conference introduction, press 2 to delete your introduction, press 3 to listen to your introduction, or press * to return to the conference.
To record the introduction, press 1, and you will hear the following: Please wait for the tone, then say your introduction and press the hash (#) key. After pressing the hash key, the recording will be played back to you for confirmation. The bridge will then ask you to press 1 to re-record the introduction or * to return to the conference.
The conference introduction will then be enabled for this conference and for all future calls until the introduction is either re-recorded or disabled by the moderator.
 
Important things to remember when using *32:
 
If you have never used this feature, we recommend entering the conference 15 minutes prior to the start of the conference to record the introduction.
The conference introduction cannot be longer than 2 minutes.
You can only record one introduction for each conference call. For different introductions, the moderator must either create multiple conferences or record a new introduction for each call.
Participants who are already in the conference before this feature is enabled will not hear the introduction.
