Our highly-customizable video conference facility accommodates a variety of needs and is available to the UC Berkeley campus and the community at large.  Video conferences can be arranged with sites around the world.  Our technician will perform a test prior to the date of the video conference and operate the equipment in the room to insure a trouble free, successful connection.

Some frequent uses include: Distance learning Guest lecturers Job interviews Remote collaborations Administrative meetings Multimedia presentations

UC Berkeley's commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions puts a spotlight on video conferencing capability on campus.  This method of communication saves time and money as well as alleviates the environmental impact caused by long distance travel.  Click here to see more about the CalCAP program.
