Meeting platforms

The conferencing service of DFN Verein (DFNConf) enables video, web and telephone conferences at the PC workstation or mobile devices. The service also enables dial-in to a video conference via telephone. It can also be used for e-learning scenarios.

IMPORTANT: Please note the current notes on DFNconf and Covid-19.

The use of the DFN videoconferencing service is possible with the university's videoconferencing systems as well as with a workstation computer equipped with a webcam and microphone (better a headset). The system also supports participation via Skype or Skype for Business. Every employee can log on to the DFNConf portal with his or her university ID, set up a corresponding conference room with just a few clicks and invite further participants to the conference. For this purpose, a ready-made invitation text is generated, which describes the possibilities of conference participation. Furthermore, a test call service is available to test the access before a conference. In the portal, you can find a flyer with a short overview of the service as well as detailed information about its use. The registration at the DFNConf portal is done with your university identification via Shibboleth. The link for setting up a web conference is located at the top right of the portal.
