FedEx Office or FedEx Office to an outside location. Cost is $225 per
hour per FedEx Office location.
• Point-to-Point with Conversion. Two videoconference locations, FedEx

method used to connect incompatible equipment or networks with a
FedEx Office location. Cost is $295 per hour per FedEx Office location.
• Multi-Point. Three or more videoconference locations. $265 per hour
per FedEx Office location.
• Multi-Point with Conversion. Three or more videoconference locations,
with conversion to a non–FedEx Office site required. A conversion
is the method used to connect incompatible equipment or networks
with a FedEx Office location. Cost is $335 per hour per FedEx Office
location.
There are other fees to consider, including adding an audio participant
to a videoconference call for $55 per hour per audio port. A FedEx Office
“conference producer” can also provide introductions for all parties and
verify that video and audio are acceptable. The cost is $55 per conference.
FedEx also offers DVD recordings of videoconferences at a cost of $35 per
conference, plus shipping fees.
You can find a videoconferencing location by using the online store
locator. Or, call (866) 828-4563 and request videoconferencing information.
Here are some tips from FedEx/Kinko’s for making your
videoconference a success:
• Schedule the conference in advance and make sure everyone knows
what needs to be accomplished.
• Send out an agenda and other materials prior to the conference.
• Choose one person to act as moderator at each location.
• Avoid wearing bright red, white, plaids, stripes, or prints, because they
are distracting and create visual problems on camera.
