Part 2: Adding calls to a conference

The MultiSite feature

Conference systems with the optional
built-in MultiSite can handle up to 4–6
video calls and up to 3 telephone calls
simultaneously, depending on the
system.
You may set up a video meeting with
many participants in advance and/
or you may add participants during a
conference. This is called to add another
call.
Observe that the ability to add another

system may, or may not, be equipped

Systems without this option will not
have the Add Another Call icon in the
menus.
