Service Description

Video Conferencing (VCon) is a modern communications tool that can save time and money, and can support a Carbon Management agenda. It can also remove uncertainties due to inclement weather.

Most universities and large companies have VCon facilities so it has become a viable alternate to physical meetings. Universities have started to use VCon to support:

  • Staff recruitment
  • International and PG student recruitment
  • Business meetings
  • Distributed research groups
  • Distributed teaching
  • Student Viva meetings
  • Technology transfer

VCon can offer high quality video and audio. 

Desktop Video Conferencing is available through Microsoft Teams application. The application can facilitate multi-party videoconferencing and it enables participants to share digital content from their devices, and share files through chat sessions.  Microsoft Teams is part of Office 365 application suite. See Office 365 @ Queens for information on accessing Office 365, training content, and support documentation.

Group video conferencing facilities are available in the Peter Froggatt Centre, the Administration building and the McClay Library. This service allows group participation from a dedicated video conferencing room. To set up a Group Video Conference, please fill in the booking form.
