Special announcements Availability of meeting rooms Use of audio/video recording devices by participants at UNFCCC sessions TelePresence video conferencing service The demand for meeting rooms is expected to exceed the capacity of the conference premises and priority will be given to meetings directly associated with the negotating process. The secretariat appreciates participants understanding in this connection. Meetings will therefore only be confirmed at the earliest one day prior to the requested meeting taking place. The making of audio and video recordings, including any external transmission, by Party or observer organization delegations during open and closed official meetings and in designated security zones is not permitted. The secretariat provides audio recordings of official meetings, as required by Parties. Webcasts are provided for open plenary meetings. Four "TelePresence" suites are available for use by participants to COP 15 at no cost. Using these TelePresence suites in the conference venue it will be possible to connect virtually and in real time with 77 Cisco TelePresence rooms around the world and with 23 Danish embassies. The COP 15 TelePresence meeting facilities are located in Hall B across from the Meeting Room Assignment Counter and can be booked through the counter.
