Skype+-+Adobe+Conference+Call

Conference Call Sometimes it is necessary for off-campus students to call in so that they can give presentations or participate in discussions. In the event that this is necessary, the student producer should start a conference call in Skype before the class begins. The volume of the call, and the voice of off-campus students, can be adjusted by turning up the computer volume or adjusting the PC Audio knob in one of the control room stations.
