Hi Lucy,
Your video conferencing should be quite straightforward. Bear in mind it's designed for anybody to use. Every video conferencing room I've seen always has a laminated sheet of instructions on how to use or it's pinned to the wall.
You'll either be given a phone number or a location. When you get he vide oconferencing equipment turned on you have a menu on the TV. If you've been given a phone number then you will type that into the correct place (maybe unde the menu option of Dial or Connect), if it's a location then the number will be stored in the equipment and you will need to select it from the list. Once you've done that it will connect to the other end.
Depending on how the equipment at the other end is setup it may automatically answer (which is sometimes not a good idea - when testing equipment before the machine at the other end automatically answered and lo and behold there was a disciplinary meeting going on!) or it will be manually answered. Either way you should be able to see them and off you go.
That should be it! All equipment is different, however that's pretty much how it usually all works. Hope it helps.
Kind regards,
