Fisher Room located on level 5 of the Denys Wilkinson Building.
All of these rooms support standard resolution video conferences using Zoom, CERN Vidyo, WebEx and Skype
Zoom Video Conferencing
All of the above rooms support Zoom and have Zoom host licenses. If you are holding a meeting in one of the rooms, you can invite (up to 300!) people to join you remotely. They will be able to connect from any computer with a web browser, from an ordinary phone, from a smartphone (using a downloaded app) or from a professional video conference system. Instructions and sample invites for each room can be found in the rooms and also under the Video Conference Facilities page.
If you want to host Zoom conference from your own office or from home there are 3 options:
You can have your own professional license. This will give you all the features listed above. The cost is £72 + VAT per year. (The license year goes from Feburary to February - so licenses bought now will expire next February after which they will normally to renewed for a further year). To obtain a professional license: please e-mail itsupport@physics.ox.ac.uk stating which budget the license should be charge to.
You can have a free personal license. This will allow you unlimited one to one conferences but multiway conferences are limited to 45 minutes (although you can start a new one once the 45 minutes are up). People will be able to phone into your conference from an ordinary phone but not from a professional video conference system. To obtain a license please e-mail itsupport@physics
For one off conferences, we can schedule a meeting for you using a central account. To do this, please e-mail itsupport@physics.ox.ac.uk at least 24 hours in advance with the following information: Title of meeting, start date and time, durantion.
Webinars
We have a Zoom webinar license allowing us to host webinars with up to 1000 participants. Webinars are suitable for delivering publicly advertised lectures. To schedule a webinar, please e-mail itsupport@physics.ox.ac.uk.
Skype
Skype is available in most rooms. However, we recommed using Zoom instead. It allows more connections, is more flexible and the audio quality is usually much better than Skype.
