Manage Conference Calls

You can initiate a conference call to include two or more contacts. Your system administrator configures
the maximum number of participants allowed in a conference call. Ask your system administrator for the
maximum number of contacts allowed.
As with other calls, you can hold and resume conference calls. In addition, you can split a conference call,
which ends the conference and places all participants on hold.
If your system administrator enables the conference management feature on your phone, you can
manage each participant in a conference call— that is, you can mute, hold, and remove each participant
in the conference. For more information, see
