Using Join
Join enables you to combine two or more existing calls to create a conference in which you are a
participant.
Tips
• If you frequently join more than two parties into a single conference, you may find it useful to first
select the calls that you want to join, then press Join to complete the action.
• When Join completes, caller ID changes to “Conference.”
• You may be able to combine multiple conference calls by using the Join or DirTrfr softkeys. Check
with your system administrator to see if this feature is available to you.
• A Call Chaperone user can conference only the first caller. Subsequent callers can be conferenced
by the other participants in the conference.
