REANNZ runs a video conferencing service for KAREN members. The KAREN Video Conferencing Service allows KAREN members to collaborate with each other easily using video conferencing tools.

KAREN Video Conferencing Service

The KAREN Video Conferencing Service makes connecting with local and international contacts easy with simple to use video conferencing tools. Subscribers to the service benefit from bridging for multipoint calls, a booking system for scheduling meetings and inviting participants, webcasting and recording capabilities, and a free desktop application which anyone anywhere can use to connect to meetings.

A video conferencing bridge can help you connect with many people at the same time using many different end-point and desktop video conferencing technologies and connecting via IP, ISDN or the commodity internet.

See our Frequently Asked Questions for further information on the KAREN Video Conferencing Service.
