InstantMeeting™ Enterprise Edition is a one-click conference call connect solution which supports Microsoft® Office Outlook®, leading conferencing service providers as well as top smartphone brands. This tool allows today’s busy professional the most convenient way to join a conference call from their PC or mobile device.

“Modern professionals spend an increasing amount of time in meetings, specifically conference calls. InstantMeeting enables quick, intuitive conference call access so business professionals can focus on the task at hand: communication and collaboration,” said Gunjan Bhow, vice president and general manager of New Ventures at Plantronics. “Our ultimate goal is to enable people to communicate with one another naturally and with minimal barriers, regardless of the devices, platforms and tools being used.”

Plantronics InstantMeeting™ eliminates the frustration and time lost when trying to dial-in to a conference call, a cumbersome process that requires entering a myriad of numbers, ID codes and passwords, and # and * signs. It automatically syncs conference dial-in numbers from leading providers, requiring no advanced setup of access codes and calendars, enabling you to join conference calls with one touch.
