At the end of the day yesterday I decided to test our product to make sure that our customers could reach conferencing services and not get FAS, excessive PDD or DTMF failures especially to international destinations. I went through old calendar invites that had a link to extra numbers for Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and an Iowa Freeconferencecall.com number. I'd like to test Cisco Webex but haven't found an invite with extra numbers for them yet. I don't know if the list of numbers are meant for public consumption or if the client is charged per minute of the call even outside of the conference room. Yesterday Simwood's blog highlighted what they were doing for their customers which included creating a jitsi meet instance (opensource webrtc videoconferencing and screen sharing software) on their infrastructure. https://blog.simwood.com/2020/03/remote-working-at-simwood-free-stuff/ I did the same for our customers as a beta "If it helps and works, I know little about this so no guarantees" service. Our small clients were very grateful so we'll see how it goes. If anyone manages a large conference service that I'm overlooking and either publishes numbers publicly, I'd like to test to make sure calls complete as expected (at a random time not the top and bottom of the hour). In an ideal world this would be a good use of a voice peering fabric but I understand call compensation and regulatory issues can get in the way of those orgs being successful. ~Jared Geiger
