Below is a list of questions that came up during the Conference Room Training sessions. If you have additional questions, please email cphithelp@temple.edu

  • Who can use the conference rooms?
    • All faculty and staff, including full-time, part-time, adjuncts, teaching assistants (TAs), and other staff members.
  • How far in advance can the conference rooms be scheduled? 
    • 180 Days
  • Can I use my laptop to connect in a conference room that has a computer? 
    • Yes
  • How do I request help in the conference rooms? 
    • We will have information available in the smaller conference rooms about how to request help. Larger conference rooms will have an AMX panel with a "Request Help" button. 
  • What is the work-around if someone forgets to disconnect? 
    • Follow the process that will be provided in the rooms to request help and CPH IT will be able to reset it for you. 
  • Will the capacity for each room be available when booking? 
    • Yes, you will be able to see the capacity when selecting a room in Outlook. The capacity will also be displayed on the scheduling panel outside the rooms. Additionally, check out our Location Information page for the list of rooms and capacities.
  • Can we schedule conference rooms now? 
    • Yes, however, rooms are currently blocked off until the estimated date of completion. For August and early September meetings, we recommend maintaining flexibility with your plans.
  • Is there a way to share my screen without displaying all open programs and windows?
    • Yes. You can use Extend Mode, which lets you show only the content you want on the conference room display while keeping other programs and windows private on your laptop.

      • Windows: Press windows key.jpg + K, then select Extend.

      • Mac: Go to System Settings > Displays, then under Use as, choose Extend Display.

  • Where can I find phone rooms?
