Encourage Cost-Saving Audio Selection

Using Zoom telephony, particularly premium audio telephony, costs the university money. When scheduling a Zoom session,

• Ask participants to use computer audio if they can reasonably do so.
  Using computer audio does not incur any expense to the university and is generally the best audio option for participating in a Zoom session.
• If participants must join by phone, see if they can join by dialing in to the toll numbers rather than toll-free numbers.
  Toll-free calling costs Cornell more. If you're sure none of your participants will need to call toll-free, edit the calendar invite information to remove the toll-free numbers so they aren't dialed by mistake.
• Ask participants not to use the “Call Me” option to join by phone.
  While it may add some convenience, this costs Cornell the most of any option.

So, when you create your calendar invitation in Outlook, consider adding something like this to the invite text:

Microsoft Outlook Configuration Tool

• Use computer audio if you can; it saves the university money.
• If you need to connect by phone, use the toll number unless it will cost you money personally. A toll-free call is more expensive for the university.
• Please do not use the 'Call Me' option. It costs Cornell the most.
• For iOS and Android users, the Zoom app for your device supports computer audio, so you can call from your own phone, not be charged, and still save Cornell money. Download the app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
