Organizers can manage conferences and the privileges they'd like to extend to your participants.
- Log in to your OpenVoice account.
- In the left menu, click Settings.
- On the Settings page, go to the Conference Management section. You can select Yes or No to manage the following preferences:
- Participants enter the conference muted — Force all participants to join the conference muted.
Note: Attendees can toggle the unmute/mute state of their line by using the *2 key on the phone's keypad.
- Conference can continue after you leave — Allow the conference to continue after you disconnect and specify a custom value (1-60 minutes) to allow a conference call to continue.
Note: The default is set to 60 minutes. If this you have setting enabled or disabled, it can be overriden during an active conference by clicking #2 on the phone keypad prior to disconnecting your call.
- Prompt each participant for a name when joining instead of playing a beep — Prompt participants to record their name before joining the conference.
- Announce participant arrival
- Announce participant departure
- Conference starts and skips hold music if you're the first participant —You and the first participant will hear hold music until a third participant joins.
- Click Save to apply the changes.
Note: The Settings page allows or disallows certain configurations based on user selection. For example, if you select the Yes radio button to start a conference if the organizer is the first participant, then by default you cannot allow participants to start conferences.
