Making Conference Calls

Conference calling allows three or more parties to participate in a call simultaneously. Your Cisco Unified IP Video Phone can support several types of conference calls depending on your needs and your phone configuration. The softkeys identify which methods are available on your phone:

•Confrn—Use this softkey to establish standard conferences by calling each participant individually. Standard conference calling represents a default feature that is available on most phones.

•Join—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference among several calls who are already on the line.

•cBarge—Use this softkey to establish a standard conference call on a shared line. Your system administrator must configure this optional feature that is available only for shared lines.

•Meet-Me—Use this softkey to host a conference (up to 100 participants, depending on configuration) that requires participants to call an established number at a specific time. Your system administrator must configure this optional feature for you.

Starting and Joining a Standard Conference

A standard conference allows at least three people to participate in a single call. The conference gets set up as an audio conference or a video conference depending on how your system administrator configured your phone. The system administrator also configures what kind of view that is displayed. The VidMode softkey allows the user to switch between Voice Activated and Continuous view of the conference. Voice Activated view displays the speaking part in full screen. Continuous view displays all participants on the screen simultaneously.
