VoIP Users and Conferencing

When a user’s conference room is in use the user will still be able to receive a call on their VoIP phone. This call can either be DID, an Extension call, a Menu option to the user, a Ring Group, or directly to a Ring Group itself.

Calls that are answered by a user using a VoIP phone can be added to the existing conference call if so desired.

The user, using a VoIP phone, can swap between the conference call and the call to the user if needed.

Conferencing using a cell or landline only on that user will not interrupt the conference call nor will it prevent a call from going to that device.

Users can manage their conference via the User Portal.
