Telephone Conference Features

1 Mute / Unmute Entire Conference Call

Known as "Lecture Mode", this mutes all conference guests (excluding the host and guest speakers) helping to cut out any background noise from callers that do not need to speak.

2 Lock / Unlock Conference Call

Restrict access to your conference call at anytime. Use Attendee Head Count to identify the number of participants on your call and lock it for added security when you know everyone has joined.

3 Call Continuation Off/On

If you need to leave early but the conference call has to continue, this feature is already enabled and allows the conference call to remain open until the last caller hangs up. If you're hosting from a cell phone, this will help in case you drop off from "spotty cell reception." You can toggle the feature off using 3* if you wish but, if not enabled, when the host hangs up or is disconnected, the conference call is ended and all callers are disconnected. NOTE: You can also use the End Conference feature with 78*.

4 Attendee Self-Mute

Attendees can self-mute their conference line anytime. They can regain talking rights by repeating. Attendees can NOT unmute their line when the host has muted the entire conference with 1*.

5 Free Conference Recording On-Off

Record your conference calls at no cost and toggle your recording off before the end of the call, by pushing 5* a second time. Otherwise, the recording will end when the conference call ends.

6 Name Announcement

Request conference call participants speak their name before entering your call. Once recorded, they are joined into the conference. Roll Call will play all the names to you, the host.

7 Exit Tone On-Off

Turn on or off an exit tone whenever callers leave your conference call.

8 Conference Attendee Count

Identify exactly how many callers are on your conference at a particular time with the results broadcast to the host only.

9 New Entry Notification Off-On

By default, the conference call service will signal new attendees through an audio tone. The host can disable this tone with 9*. If you're hosting a large call, leave the new entry tone on for the first few folks then disable it to avoid any distraction during your call.

78 End Entire Conference

This feature allows you to disconnect all callers and end the conference call even with Call Continuation enabled. You can also use the "End Conference" button from the Conference Manager.

88 Guest Speaker Code

Every conference code has a replaceable Guest Speaker code to ensure a specific caller is never muted. They will dial-in, enter the 6-digit conference code then dial 88*and the 5-digit Guest Speaker Code.
