For example, if you share a line with a co-worker:

When a call comes in on the shared line:

Your co-worker’s phone screen displays a remote-connected icon for the shared call.

If auto barge is enabled, you can auto barge a call by going off-hook or make a new call.

If you put the call on hold:

Your Phone screen displays an on-hold icon for the shared call.

Your co-worker’s phone screen displays a remote-hold icon for the shared call. Your co-worker can pick up the call.
