Estimated and Total Costs for Video Appointments Added to Information Views
Estimated and total costs for video appointments for a parents’ evening event are now displayed in the Information view (Parents’ Evening > List).
Estimated costs are shown once the event is setup. Estimation is based on the total number of available video appointments and the total time of all video appointments for all staff members. Note that estimated costs may differ from the final calculation.
Total costs are shown once the event has completed. Video cost is based on £0.007 per minute for each participant (price correct for February 2022 — for the latest pricing, contact your account manager). For example, a three-minute video call with one staff member and two persons responsible for a student, results in a nine-minute cost.
An alert is shown in the Parents’ Evening Information page once event has completed, advising costs calculations can take up to 12 hours to display.
