Conferencing

Conference-on-demand

Every Virtual PBX® system includes the ability to enable teleconferences on demand. When enabled, conferences can be started at any time, without the need to schedule a conference in advance with a conference provider. With Virtual PBX conferencing, the days of teleconference reservations are over.

Every extension

Conferencing can be made available for every extension in the Virtual PBX system, or this privilege can be granted only to select extensions. Once enabled, each extension has its own private conference room, and conferences can be conducted at any time, regardless of other conferences in existence at other extensions.

Flexible security

While starting a Virtual PBX conference can be as easy as pushing a key and entering the extension number where the conference is being held, security is not an issue. The extension owner can see visually, on a computer screen, the caller ID of anyone in the conference at any time. The owner can also lock the conference, not allowing anyone else to join, or password-protect the conference whenever needed.

Real-time monitoring

Virtual PBX conferencing includes the ability for extension owners to bring up a computer screen that shows conference activity. This on-line tool shows the caller ID of all parties involved in the conference, and updates automatically as attendees change.

Easy to use

A teleconference can be started at any time. Callers simply indicate a desire to join a conference by pressing a particular phone key and then entering the extension number. The extension owner is the conference moderator, and the conference will actually start when the moderator enters the conference. Until then, callers are not connected, so the moderator has full control. Callers don't need to enter a PIN number, and there is no system scheduling needed to set up a call.
