Charges related to Webcast Mode ... OpenVoice
Hello,
We've only been using the GTW Webcast Mode which eliminates phone / dial in option for attendees but we've been getting a charge for minutes usage every month. Just wondering what the OpenVo...

Hi Ken4 thanks for the details here.
Openvoice is a conference call service, with a webcast webinar, organizers/co-organizers/panelists can dial-in. If you scheduled the webcast with OpenVoice enabled it may be generating toll-free numbers that one or more of the webinar staff is using. You can check this through reviewing the audio options, see the image below.
Thanks Kate,
Since we only pass out the dial in info to speakers on very rare occasions, is it possible since we host webinars with over 1,000 attendees at a time that some attendees could have connection issues, then contact GTW support and the tech support offers the attendees a audio option that's via phone but muted? just wondering. I know in the dashboard you can send an attendee phone audio access even though it isn't advertised (since we only offer webcast computer audio)
Not sure if what I'm asking makes sense.
Thanks again
Hi Ken4, hope you had a good weekend. It's not likely that support would offer a way to attend that the organizer has not supported.
Something is off, 8 Webinars/webcast we did in the first week of December all have charges of many minutes = 5,200
But we only had one speaker on one webcast for 70 minutes. Testing the connections for all 8 activities we were on - on occasions. My best calculations is we should have only used up a total of 430 ish minutes. Do you think I should speak to someone in billing or tech support?
Thanks
Just an update, opened up a case to figure out what these 5,700 minutes of Integrated audio is for 8 Webcast (mode) we did in December. Long story short, since Webcast Mode doesn't offer attendee phone dial in info and we only had one speaker dial in for 1.5 hours of all 8 programs. Can't seem to figure out what these 5,700 minutes are.
Also, our Webcast throughout the year also have these Integrated audio charges. Don't get me wrong, the charges are minimal but! still like to know what they are.
Thanks
