you will exchange video is the participant you most recently added to the
conference (if the party can exchange video).
• Using the Join soft key, if you have an active call and one call on hold (on
the same or another Line Key). The participant with whom you will
exchange video is the party who was previously on hold (if the party can
exchange video).

conference call. The default value is three (including yourself).

conference, the message “Video can only be active with one party at a time”
displays.
