Media Technology & Production - Videoconferencing

Most of the auditoriums on the SOM campus, including Reunion, Class of 1962, Austrian, Dunlop, and the BRB auditorium have videoconferencing capabilities. All of the above auditoriums can host or receive an IP based videoconference and the option of an incoming ISDN videoconference is available through a third party at an additional cost.

Videoconferences can range from local calls from one part of Penn to another, to anywhere in the world. They're a great way to save on travel time and costs.

We also offer videoconferences in other rooms on campus that do not have installed equipment by way of portable videoconferencing units. This is not available off of the SOM campus and is limited to certain rooms on campus. Call the MTP department with questions you may have regarding availability at 215-898-0514.

-------Portable Videoconference Setup

If the party you're contacting doesn't support videoconferencing or video isn't necessary to your conversation, we offer portable teleconferencing units that can be set up in any room with a working phone line.
Note that the A/V technician will not be able to dial a number outside of Penn. For outside lines, the other party will have to call in or you can call your office here on campus and have them transfer your call out from there.
