Setting Up Conference Calls
You can create a conference with two other parties using the phone’s local
conference feature. During a conference call, your phone can exchange video
with only one conference participant (even if more than one participant can
send video). The participant with whom you exchange video depends on how
you set up the conference. You also have the option of choosing the participant
with whom to exchange video.
By default, you can create a conference with two other parties. Depending on your
phone system, you may be able to host a conference with more than two parties.
For more information, see your system administrator.
