03. Why do I need to add a security question on the TeamConnect site?

BT will use the security question to verify your identity when system changes need to be made. For example, if someone has used your chairperson passcode (compromised the TI Strictly private policy) and a new one needs to be generated, BT will ask you to answer your security question before issuing you a new passcode.

04. What is the difference between a Reservationless and Scheduled conference?

A Scheduled conference is scheduled on the system in advance. Meeting hosts schedule conferences through TeamConnect. A Scheduled conference begins when the first participant or host joins the call.
A Reservationless conference allows meeting hosts to hold spontaneous conferences with no scheduling required. A Reservationless conference will not begin until the host joins the calls (the participants will hear a recording until the host joins).

11. If I am the meeting chairperson, do I have to use my chairperson code?

The host of a Reservationless conference must use their chairperson passcode to start the call. Your meeting cannot start unless you dial in using your chairperson passcode. Participants will hear a recording until the chairperson joins the Reservationless conference call.
The host of a Scheduled conference is not required to use a chairperson passcode to start the call. Chairperson passcode is optional on a Scheduled conference call. The host and participants may dial in using the participant passcode and the Scheduled conference call will begin immediately.

12. If my meeting runs long, does the conference auto-extend?

Yes.
