Cannot click-to-call online users who run older Sametime clients When using the click-to-call feature to initiate a conference call with one or more users, you won't be able
to call online users who aren't using Lotus Sametime Connect 7.5 or later. Users who are logged in to
Sametime using older Sametime Connect clients, Lotus Notes clients other than Notes 8.0 Standard, or
Sametime web conferencing cannot be called from Sametime Connect 7.5.x clients. This restriction does
not apply to users who are not currently online.
To work around this issue, you can call the users as external users, using Tools -> Invite to Call -> Start a
Call. Add online users who are running Sametime Connect 7.5 to the invitation list, and then add other
online users running different clients to the list using the Add New Person button.
This limitation will be addressed in a future Sametime Connect release.
Sametime
Cannot rejoin conference call after hanging up phone When another Lotus Sametime Connect 7.5.x user invites you to a conference call using the click-to-call
feature, and you accept the invitation, an n-way chat window appears that shows a telephony toolbar and
the status of each call participant.
If you leave the call by clicking the Hang Up button, the telephony toolbar in the chat window will
disappear, and you will be unable to rejoin the call. If you leave the call by hanging up your phone, the
telephony toolbar will remain visible, and the Hang Up button will be replaced with a Join Call button.
However, clicking the Join Call button will not actually rejoin you to the call.
To rejoin the call after you've left, either use the dial-in number if available, or ask one of the other call
participants to re-invite you.
Sametime
Cannot start a call w/user whose policy does not allow telephony Users cannot initiate a call with a user whose policy does not allow telephony. To work around this issue,
create an external user in the Invite dialog using the "Add new person" button, with the number that you'd
like to dial for that user. The invitee will not get an invitation, but their phone will ring, and they can join
the call.
