Conferences

5.10.1 Ad-hoc Conference

An ad-hoc conference occurs spontaneously and is started manually by the

conference controller. The conference controller can save ad-hoc conferences in

order to set them up again at some later point in time.

Starting the Conference

The system opens the window with the virtual conference room automatically for

all internal conference participants, provided they have started myAttendant with

the classic user interface. The system calls all conference participants

simultaneously. On joining the conference, each conference participant hears a

greeting announcement with the name of the conference controller.

Recording the Conference

Conference controllers can record a conference manually for themselves or for all

connected internal conference participants, provided the live recording of calls

has been activated in the system. Participants located in the own node receive

the recording in the voicemail box; participants in other nodes, via e-mail. The

duration of the recording is only limited by the available storage capacity of the

system.

Ending the Conference

The conference controller can end the conference in the client or simply hang up.

Alternatively, the conference ends when all conference participants have left the

conference.

Expanding a Call to a Conference

An internal subscriber who is conducting a call can convert the call to an ad-hoc

conference and add further subscribers. For this, the subscriber must have a UC

Suite Conference license.
