How do I join a conference bridge?

You can join a conference bridge from an internal or remote phone.

From an Internal Phone

There are three ways for callers to access a conference bridge externally:

Blind transfer the caller to the conference bridge extension.
Route the caller to the conference bridge through a dial plan (Auto Attendant node or Conference Room node).
Give the caller a direct phone number to the conference bridge.

Once connected, you may be prompted to enter a conference bridge pin and/or to record your name.

There are several in-call conferencing controls. Controls vary based on whether participants access the conference bridge as a participant or host.
