Manage Conference Calls

You can initiate a conference call to include two or more contacts. Your system administrator configures the maximum number of participants allowed in a conference call. Ask your system administrator for the maximum number of contacts allowed.

As with other calls, you can hold and resume conference calls. In addition, you can split a conference call, which ends the conference and places all participants on hold.

If your system administrator enables the conference management feature on your phone, you can manage each participant in a conference call— that is, you can mute, hold, and remove each participant in the conference. For more information, see Manage Conference Call Participants.
