These remote participants will usually be connecting via their computer with a webcam or microphone, smartphone, telephone, or similar video conferencing system. ## Connecting Using CMS Virtual Conference Room (Cisco Meeting Server) – Allows for WebRTC & Skype for Business Connections A CMS Virtual Conference room is a cloud-based virtual conference room specifically for your room. Your conference room can be configured with its own CMS room. If it has not been configured already, complete and submit this [form](http://ait.uconn.edu/vtc-cloud-conference-room-request/) to send us a setup request. Once set up, use the following steps for connecting your conference room to a CMS. ### Connecting to CMS Virtual Conference Room If your room is controlled via a touch screen, there should be a **Dial WebRTC** button listed on the main video conference page of the touch screen. Press this button to automatically dial into the virtual conference room where you can meet with your remote participants. ![Screenshot of room touch panel control.](media://68fbc02d-6677-48aa-85c4-dd59831bb077) ### Joining a CMS Meeting Using WebRTC Forward the web link associated with your CMS room to those who are joining remotely.  This web link would have been created by the video conferencing group and given to you during the creation of the CMS room. If you need the link again, please email [techsupport@uconn.edu](mailto:techsupport@uconn.edu). The remote participants will use this web link to connect via their computer or smartphone. ### Joining a CMS Meeting Using Skype for Business 1. Dial the SIP call string for the specified Virtual Meeting Room. This is usually something like ‘room name’@join.dl.uconn.edu. This call string would have been created by the video conferencing group and given to you during the creation of the CMS room. If you need the link again, please email [techsupport@uconn.edu](mailto:techsupport@uconn.edu). 2. Right-click on the contact that appears. 3. Select **start a video call**. - The call will behave like a normal Skype for Business call. ## Related Articles > Macro (contentbylabel) > Macro (details) > > | Related issues | | > | --- | --- |
