Notes
Depending on how your administrator has configured your Strata CS Server, up to 4, 7,
12, or 60 parties can participate in a conference call.
You cannot conference two conference calls together.
You can transfer a conference call, but not to the extension of an auto attendant, voice
mailbox, call center queue, or IVR Plug-in.
When you hang up on an ongoing conference call, by default the conference continues
without you. The other participants can continue to talk, even if you started the conference
and your company is paying for the outgoing calls used to create it. To terminate the call,
each participant must hang up. Your administrator also can configure the system to
terminate conferences when you hang up.
