Conference Calls - BT Poly Trio 8300 User Manual

Conference calls

You can set up and manage up to 12 audio conference calls on
your Poly Trio 8300, and also place video conference calls and
view video streams with other video-enabled participants.
Setting up conference calls
You can set up conference calls with
up to four contacts. As the host,
you can hold, resume, or split a
conference call.
While your system can manage up
to 12 conference calls, you can have
only one active conference call at a
time. You can keep other conference
calls on hold.
If your system administrator has set
up the conference management
feature on your phone, you can
manage each participant in the call.
With this feature, you can mute, hold,
and remove individual participants in
a conference call.
Starting a conference call
You can start a conference call by
adding a contact during an active
call. This merges the contacts into a
conference call.
Start by calling a contact. After they
answer, select Add +, or press the Add
soft key. Then enter another contact's
number or select a contact from
Contacts or Recent Calls. The system
adds the contact to the conference
call after they answer.
Merging calls into a conference call
You can merge an active call and a
held call to start a conference call.
In the Calls screen, choose a held call.
Select Merge ; the held call then
merges with the active call to begin a
conference call.
