1. What other options do I have?

• Microsoft Teams is a tool that you can use to communicate and collaborate online with City employees. 
• Zoom should be used when hosting a meeting when participants who are not City employees are involved, or when other participants do not have access to email. If you need to host a public meeting or webinar please contact Brian Wheeler, Director of Communications.
  
• WebEx is another tool for conducting meetings with external parties, and is available for directors and managers. Please request an account from Help Desk.
• CenturyLink Conference Bridge is available for audio-only meetings, primarily as a backup for the other two options. Each department has already been assigned a conference bridge and has been sent the information for using it. If you don’t have that information, please contact the Help Desk.

2. What if I need to conduct an interview? A series of interviews?

IT recommends using Zoom for your interview(s) with the Waiting Room feature enabled. Zoom’s Waiting Room allows the meeting host to control when a participant joins. You can meet with one person while another waits in the virtual waiting room, and then allow the person waiting to join the meeting when appropriate.

3. Can I still use WebEx?

Yes, IT still offers WebEx, and it has some advantages such as the capability to use a toll-free number for calling in. If you would like to use WebEx, please contact the IT Help Desk.
