3. VPNs & Firewalls: Some VPNs and Firewalls can prevent attendees from accessing all features within the RingCentral venue. Disabling these helps! If you are on a work network or any network behind a firewall, you may need to speak with your IT department or network administrator to ensure you have the best setup to enjoy your RingCentral event. When you do, please give them the websites below to whitelist, and the ports to open as noted in this article.
