Adding calls to a conference

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 call is an
optional feature, which your system may, or may
not, be equipped with.
Systems without this option will have no Add
Another Call icon in the menus.

Multiway (Beta)

However, your system may be equipped with the
MultiWay (Beta) feature. This feature allows you to
set up conferences with many participants from
your video system.
MultiWay (Beta) enables systems with no
conference option installed to run complex video
conferences with many participants. For systems
with built-in conference capabilities the number of
participants can be expanded beyond the systems'
own maximum number of participants supported.
The MultiWay (Beta) feature requires the presence
of an external MCU (MultiConference Unit), but also
a TANDBERG Gatekeeper or the TANDBERG VCS.
This MCU will run the conference for you, if your
system does not support conferencing or if you try
to expand the number of participants beyond the
number supported by the system itself.
Consult your system administrator to clarify
whether this feature exists in your system, if
needed.

Using group entries from the phone book

If you dislike the idea of having to look up each and
every party to call every time you are about initiate
a conference, you may like to know that you may
add group entries to the phone book.
This is a handy feature whenever you want to set
up meetings with the same group frequently.
More on this can be found in
usage.
