# Op Assist Features # Entry options Ways that participants can join the operator-assisted conference. # Greeted entry For conferences with up to 750 participants. With greeted entry, attendees call in and an operator greets them and directs them to your conference. Operators can also perform enhanced services such as collecting participant information and screening participants. For example, if you do not want media members or a competitor’s employees to join, you can ask the operators to screen participants before they are put into the conference. # Passcode entry For conferences with up to 15,000 participants. With passcode entry, attendees call in and an automated system prompts them to enter the passcode for the conference using their phone keypad. The automated system can also collect participant information. # Included features These features are included in the base price of the conference. # Audio recording file Included in the base price of the conference. [Editing services](https://helpgm.webcasts.com/books/op-assist-features/page/editing-services "Editing services") are not included and incur an extra charge. If you record your conference, you can receive the recording as a downloadable audio file after the event. ## Delivery time and format The recording is available within 1 business day as an MP3 file. Depending on the length of the conference and editing requests, standard delivery may take up to 5 days. # Click to Join Included in the base price of the conference. Supports up to 5,000 participants. Click to Join is the easiest way for participants to join a Greeted or Passcode Entry conference. With Click to Join, there’s no need to dial in. Instead, participants open the browser URL you provide, enter their name and phone number, and our system dials out and instantly connects them. **Important:** Click to Join is supported on current versions of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer is not supported. The Click to Join details can be found in the Participant Access Information section of your confirmation email. Provide participants with the Click to Join URL and the accompanying Confirmation Code or Participant Passcode. **Note:** As a best practice, provide participants with the dial-in numbers in case they cannot use Click to Join. The Click to Join link becomes active 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. Participants click the link, enter the required fields of information, and click **Call Me**. Our system dials out to the participant at the number provided, instantly connecting them to the conference with no hold time. ![Click to Join sign in page](https://helpgm.webcasts.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-08/scaled-1680-/kvT1irTnCD97oNkh-clicktojoin-signin.png) # Conference Controls Included in the base price of the conference.

The Conference Controls also provide a private channel for speakers and operators to chat online behind the scenes. # Opening script Included in the base price of the conference. Choose what the operator will say when opening the conference. You can have the operator read a standard script or provide your own custom script. If you'd like to introduce the conference yourself, you can have the operator do a countdown to let you know when the conference is live. Standard script example: Good day and welcome to the {company name} {conference title} conference call. Today's conference is being recorded. At this time, I would like to turn the conference over to {Mr./Mrs. moderator}, {moderator title}. Please go ahead, sir/ma'am... # Participant list report Included in the base price of the conference. When participants dial in to a conference, you can capture up to 2 pieces of information per participant and receive a summary of all information captured in a participant list report after the event. You can capture participant names, company names, regions, etc. In addition, you can capture the phone number the participant dialed from, the time the participant connected, and the time they disconnected. **Note:** You can't capture participant email addresses. For Greeted Entry conferences, an operator greets the participants and transcribes their information before placing them into the conference. For Passcode Entry conferences, an automated system prompts participants for their names and additional information and then places them into the conference. The recorded information is then transcribed by an operator. For conferences with Click to Join, participants enter their information when they join the conference. ## Delivery time and format The participant list report is available within 1 business day as an Excel file.
# Pre-conference Included in the base price of the conference. A pre-conference is included with all conferences by default and can be either 15 or 30 minutes in length.

The conference is open to speakers 15 or 30 minutes before the start time for you and your speakers to discuss, plan, coordinate, or ask the operator any questions. The operator joins this pre-conference and assists with sound checks, confirms conference details, and reviews the opening script before the event starts. # Question and answer Included in the base price of the conference. During your conference, the operator can moderate a question and answer session where attendees can ask questions of the speakers. For example, you may have a single Q&A session at the end of the conference.
