FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT EVENT CONFERENCES

Is there a difference between the moderator and the participant and the moderator and participant code?

The moderator initiates the conference and invites the other participants. Using his moderator code, he is in speaking and listening mode throughout the entire event conference, and he can conduct preliminary discussions with his moderator team. Participants who dial in with participant codes are only in muted and listening mode for the entire duration of the conference. Only the moderator can change this.

How many people can participate in an event conference?

Using the event conferences of Deutsche Telekom, direct dialog is possible with up to 4,000 participants. Our WebCast Event can even be streamed to up to 20,000 people.

In what languages can the conference be moderated?

A conference can be moderated in German and English. As an option, interpreting is possible for all commonly spoken languages. However, an interpreting service should be addressed in advance in order to schedule an interpreter for the conference.

Can participants be dialed in?

Yes, you can name the participants with their corresponding telephone numbers in advance and your participants will then be dialed in by our operators.

Can I have a participant list prepared by name?

Yes, we can record up to 200 named participants in advance. You have the option to receive this list before, during, or after the conference. Alternatively, only those asking questions can be recorded during the conference into a separate list.

Can I record my event conference?

Yes, we can have your event conference recorded in a variety of formats for later use or as a reference, provided we have your works council approval to do so. The moderator has the option to record the conference to audio or MP3 CD, cassette tape, or as MP3 file. Participants can also have a playback prepared. Participants are charged the costs for the conversation. The contracting client incurs no additional costs. The individual participants are required to enter a reference number in a menu to use this option. A condition for use is a touch-tone end-user device. There is also an option to have a list of playback users prepared. In this case the contracting client pays a fixed fee to have this option available and to replay the playback. The participants merely pay the connection fee to the telephone number with prefix 069 [Frankfurt].

Can I have customized waiting music played during the event conference?

Yes, you can play your own music. GEMA ( association for musical performances and musical reproduction) approval is required for this.

Can I have my greeting replayed?

Yes, simply provide us with your desired greeting by file or in person in advance.

Is there an option to make a presentation?

Yes, all you will need is a telephone and a web browser with Internet access to present conferences, training or other content during web presentations.

How can I, as the moderator, see what is happening during the conference?

Using EventView, moderators have access to a visual representation of the conference and, for example, can see the number of participants and questions asked at a glance.
