Hosted PBX - Conferencing Number Tutorial

Outdialing to Add a New Party to the Conference

At anytime during the conference, the Host may place an outbound call and add that caller to the conference call. (Note that this will cause the host to temporarily leave the conference, however the conference will be allowed to continue in the interim without the host.)

Once the host has connected to the new party, the host may then add the new party to the conference and rejoin the conference.

Additionally, the host may rejoin the conference without adding the new party. This is generally used when the host has not been able to reach the desired party, or for example has reached voicemail or a busy signal.

To place an outbound call during a conference:

  1. While in the conference, touch #9
  2. Enter the phone number of the person you wish to add
  3. Wait for the new party to answer, then touch #9 again to return to the conference with the new party
Note: If you wish to drop the new call, then press ## to return to the conference without the new party.
