• Arkadin Anytime / Arkadin Anywhere
    • Can I record my conference call?

      Yes, although there is a small charge made for this equivalent to another person joining the conference. Only a moderator (dialed in with a moderator PIN) can record a call. You can also dial *0 during your call for customer service assistance. Full details on how to record and playback a previously recorded conference can be found in the ArkadinAnytime User Guide.

    • How long does the conference system keep recordings for?

      The system keeps the last 15 recordings that have been made for your conference for 30 days. If a 16th recording is made, the oldest previous recording will be deleted.

    • How can I ensure confidentiality in my conference and stop more people from joining?

      The moderator can ‘Lock’ an audio conference. This means that other individuals will not be able to join. Full details on how to lock a conference can be found in the ArkadinAnytime User Guide.

    • Can I mute everyone else but myself?

      Yes, but only if you are the moderator. Full details on how to mute all participant lines can be found in the ArkadinAnytime User Guide.

    • Why should I use arkadin’s mute feature vs. my telephone mute feature?

      By using Arkadin’s mute feature you will be sure to block out any background noise, static or possible “hold music” that comes from your line. Your phone mute feature may or may not block static or hold music.

    • If I have a problem with my conference, how do i get help?

      If you are in your conference, press (*0) to speak to a customer service operator. If you are not in your conference, contact Arkadin’s Customer Service team.

      They can:

      • Help with potential sound quality problems
      • Help with recording the call

       

    • Can I share my conference details for my colleague’s own use?

      We discourage the practice of sharing accounts for a few reasons. Charges may be incorrectly allocated to you when you did not use the service. Also, multiple hosts may schedule separate calls at the same time using the same account details which will cause confusion and wasted time. If other colleagues need conferencing services, we would recommend that they obtain their own account. There is no extra charge for setting up additional users.

      Yes, you can call your toll access number or we also provide a list of international toll-free access numbers or geographic numbers that you can call while abroad.
