Starting a Conference

This article walks you through how to start your own conference or join someone else’s meeting.

As a meeting organizer, you can start your conference one of two ways:

Let’s take a closer look at each, starting with over the web.

Login to UberConference from either Chrome, Firefox, Edge (80.0.361.69 and above), Safari (11 or above), or the Mac or Windows App
On your conference dashboard, click Start Conference
Ensure your audio and video devices are set up
Select your preference on how to join (with your mic or video on/off)
Then click the “Join Now” button

You’ll automatically be dropped into your conference, where you’ll see your Organizer card.

In order for your conference to officially start both the Organizer and Participants must connect.

Once your Participants join and connect their audio, your conference will officially start.

If you’d prefer for UberConference to dial out to you, when using the desktop version:

Select the "View Screenshare or Present" option
Confirm the number set up with your UberConference account, click “View Screenshare”, and we’ll dial out to you
While we’re dialing out to your phone, you’ll be placed into the conference as view only on your desktop

Once your Participants join and connect their audio, your conference will officially start.
