Managing Conference Calls

You can initiate a conference call with two other people. Depending on your phone system, you can add more than two people to a conference call. Ask your system administrator about the maximum number of conference call participants.

You can hold and resume conference calls. You also have the option to split a conference call—end the conference and place the people you were talking with on hold.

During a conference call, you have access to the conference management feature. This feature enables you to manage each person in the conference call so that you can mute, hold, and remove participants. Your system administrator enables this feature on your phone. For more information, see Managing Conference Call Participants.

Initiating Conference Calls

You can initiate a conference by calling two people and using the Confrnc soft key or by joining two existing calls using the Join soft key.
