Add Yourself to a Call on a Shared Line

You or your coworker can join a call on a shared line. But you can't add yourself to a call that already has
three or more participants.
If a user with whom you share a line has privacy turned on, you can't see their line settings and you can't add
yourself to their call.
Procedure
Do one of these actions:
• Press the line button for the shared line and press Barge.
• Press the line button for the shared line and press the session key with the active call.
When any participant joins or leaves a call, participants hear an audio alert.

Enable Privacy on a Shared Line

Privacy prevents others who share your line from seeing information about your calls.
Privacy applies to all shared lines on your phone. If you have multiple shared lines and privacy is enabled,
others cannot view any of your shared lines.
If the phone that shares your line has privacy enabled, you can make and receive calls using the shared line
as usual.
Visual confirmation is displayed on your phone screen for as long as the feature is enabled.
