Host: When prompted, enter the assigned access code, followed by the # key.
Participant: When prompted, enter the assigned access code, followed by the # key.

Recording Instructions
During the free live conference, the host can start recording at any time by pressing *9. A prompt will announce that recording has been activated. To stop and save the recording, the host will press *9 again and a prompt will announce that the recording has been stopped.
Playback Instructions
To listen to the recorded conference, the host must provide attendees with the play
back number and access code. Please note, that the playback number is different
from the conference dial-in number. When users call into the recording playback
number, they will be prompted to enter the access code and then enter the reference
number for a specific recording. The reference number for each recording is provided
on your recordings page in your account. Once confirmed, the system will play back
the recorded conference. During play back, the user can scroll forward or backwards
through the recorded conference. You will find the play back features below.
