Conference Providers
To use Alexa for Business to join meetings from the conference devices in your meeting rooms, set up your conference provider. Alexa for Business offers a list of built-in conference providers, including Amazon Chime, Cisco WebEx, and Zoom. If you conference provider isn't listed, choose Custom conference provider and specify the details.
The conference provider contains the following settings:
-
Provider name and meeting
-
PSTN dial-in
-
SIP/H323 dial-in
When you ask Alexa to join a meeting, Alexa searches for a scheduled meeting on the calendar that you can join. If there's no meeting on the calendar or the user declines to join it, Alexa asks the user for dial-in information to join a one-time meeting. The provider name and meeting settings are used during this exchange. The following table provides examples of what you can say to Alexa to start meetings.
