Overview


Using Ring Central, we have the option to add a video conferencing option to meeting invites (similar to other services such as GoTo Meeting, Zoom, or Skype).  To do this, you will need to have the following:

  • An active Ring Central account
  • The Ring Central Meetings application installed and logged in
  • The Ring Central Meetings Outlook Plugin


       If you do not have those items, please have your supervisor submit a ticket through the VOA Support Portal.
