We use a virtual conference room provided by DFN (Deutsches Forschungsnetz).

You can use the web client to connect. We however encourage everyone to use a headset for better audio quality or even a proper video conferencing system (see below) or software when available.

Connecting via web client

  1. Visit https://conf.dfn.de/webapp/conference/97938800
  2. Enter your name and allow your browser to use camera and microphone
  3. The conference does not need a PIN to join, just leave the field empty, click join and you're in.

In case you see a dfnconf logo and the phrase "Auf den Meetingveranstalter warten", just be patient, the meeting host needs to join first (a voice will tell you).

Connecting a VC system/software

How to log in with a video conferencing system, depends on you VC system or software.

  • Using the H.323 protocol (eg Polycom): vc.dfn.de##97938800 or 194.95.240.2##97938800

  • Using the SIP protocol:[email protected]

  • By telephone: +49-30-200-97938800

For those who do not have a video conference system or suitable software, Polycom provides a pretty good free app for iOS and Android, so you can join from your tablet (Polycom RealPresence Mobile, available from AppStore/PlayStore). Note that firewalls may interfere with videoconferencing in various and sometimes confusing ways.

For more technical information on logging in from various VC systems, please see
