NCENN Conference Call Line – FREE
- Need to connect across a wide area? Maybe your members are remote and don’t have good internet, maybe they aren’t computer savvy, or maybe you’re all tired of video calls. We have a conference call line available for groups in our network to use free of charge. Pre-booking on a Google Calendar is required, on a first-come, first-served basis – but we’re always available to help with booking or resolve time conflicts. Contact info@ncenn.ca for details on how to book and use the conference call line.
NCENN Zoom Account – FREE
- Need more than just a voice? We also have a paid Zoom account groups can book and borrow in the same way as the conference call line. No time limit, up to 100 participants in a meeting, and all the features of a basic professional Zoom account are available for use by groups in our network.
