The hmt Rostock has a DFNcon service agreement with the DFN (Deutsches Forschungsnetz - german researcher network). This service includes the possibility to host video- and audio- webconferences. The focus is on research and schooling and offers the central components to create online sessions.

Please open www.conf.dfn.de and click "Veranstalterlogin" (event organizer login). Choose "Hochschule für Musik und Theater Rostock" as your organisation and fill in your personal hmt Rostock user account (e.g. mopo1234) and your password. You can now create meetings using the Pexip video conference software:

For quick meetings with a group of people please choose new meeting-room and enter a name and organizer PIN code. This will be used to identify yourself as maintainer with extra privileges at the start of the meeting.
For scheduled and events with bigger audience please choose new lecture-room. This is optimized for only a small group of speakers and a huge amount of listeners.
In both cases, you can customize the conference using "more settings" block.
The datacentre of the University of Rostock (ITMZ) offers a tutorial and guide here: https://www.roc.uni-rostock.de/lehre-digital-gestalten/toolglossar/.

You can also use the Adobe Connect platform (at top menu right side). This software offers much more features like presentations, whiteboard, break-out-rooms, custom layouts, lobby, user roles, ... . It is designed for big events like real conferences which have a strict schedule and which also need to offer user contributions during the session.
But this huge featureset comes with a longer training time for organizers. Helpful is for example the video series of the Institut für Qualitätsentwicklung an Schulen Schleswig-Holstein (IQSH).

The hmt Rostock owns Zoom software licenses, that can be used for your work instead of the free-to-use DFN video conference software. You will need to fill in a request form signed by Prorektor Mr. Martin Rieck.
