Setting Up Conference Calls

Note		Your system administrator configures the maximum number of parties allowed in a
		conference call. The default value is three (including yourself). For more
		information, contact your system administrator.
	You can set up a conference in one of two ways:
	•	Using the Conference soft key or	. The participant with whom
		you will exchange video is the participant you most recently added to the
		conference (if the party can exchange video).
	• Using the Join soft key, if you have an active call and one call on hold (on
		the same or another Line Key). The participant with whom you will
		exchange video is the party who was previously on hold (if the party can
		exchange video).
Note		If the site for which you view video changes to a different site after you set up a

conference, the message “Video can only be active with one party at a time” displays.

To choose the participant with whom to exchange video, see Managing Conference Call Participants on page 3-24.
