From MeetingTime 
MeetingPlace can outdial people in three ways: 
1.
 
Automated outdial to teams 
You can select a Team and request that all the members be outdialed. 
The system will dial each member using the phone number specified in 
their profile. 
2.
 
Automated outdial to missing invitees 
While attending a meeting, users with outdial privileges can request that 
participants who are invited but have not arrived be outdialed. 
MeetingPlace searches the invited users’ list of names and marks those 
that are already in the meeting. It then checks to see if enough free ports 
are available and outdials each of the missing invitees (regardless of 
participant notification preferences). 
3.
 
Screened outdial to a profile user or phone number 
Any MeetingPlace user with outdial privileges can outdial to individuals 
one at a time. A MeetingTime user can specify a participant or team, 
then click the dial button to begin outdialing. MeetingPlace provides the 
telephone number from the participants’ user profiles, and allows users 
to override the phone number if necessary. The system connects the 
participant who dialed out with the dialed person, allowing the two 
parties to speak before being placed in the meeting. 
 
Note: To initiate a screened outdial you must be attending the meeting by 
telephone. If the participant initiating the outdial is not attending the 
meeting from the phone, selecting screened outdial will result in the system 
outdialing the user first. 
How Are Meetings Set Up? 
To set up meetings on MeetingPlace, users require a profile with the 
appropriate scheduling privileges. A profile uniquely identifies a user on the 
system, and it contains the user’s privileges and preferences for setting up 
meetings. 
MeetingPlace provides several ways to set up meetings:
