NYU offers videoconferencing services for faculty, staff, and administrators. Videoconferencing allows participants to conduct simultaneous audio and video communication between two or more locations anywhere in the world.

Videoconferencing Locations

ITS-managed videoconferencing facilities are available for use by all schools at multiple locations on campus. In addition, many departments and schools at Washington Square and at NYU's global sites offer their own videoconferencing services. Click here to see if your school or department offers videoconferencing.

ITS Videoconferencing System

ITS uses an h.264 compatible Polycom videoconferencing system. The system is situated in a traditional conference room and includes a camera, microphone, and large monitor. This system lends itself well to meetings and other sorts of administrative communication.

Connection Types: IP and ISDN

ITS' videoconferencing system supports both ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) and IP (Internet Protocol) connections; the most common and easiest connection type is IP. In most cases, ITS staff will contact the technical staff at the remote site to determine the best connection type to fit your needs. If, however, you receive a request from someone outside of NYU inviting you to participate in a videoconference, you should ask them which type of connection they would like to use, then specify that type on the ITS videoconferencing request form.
