Groups for Chat-Rooms and Conferences

Create pascom groups for chat rooms and audio- /video conferences

What are pascom Groups?

Think of pascom groups as dynamic conference rooms with a lot of additional features. pascom groups can be used as chat rooms, but can also be upgraded to audio and video conference rooms. For example, create a “support group” for all support staff, where they can exchange information in group chat and hold audio and video meetings.

With the group function you create permanent groups for:

  1. Group chat
  2. Audio conferences
  3. Video conferences
  4. Online meetings with screen sharing

Creating new pascom groups is not restricted and can be done by any user.

Create a new group using the + icon in your profile.

Step 1 Create Group
