Audio conferences (conference call)
This tool is convenient to hold a collective discussion. With MegaFon PBX you may add an unlimited number of participants to the audio conference mode.
You may gather the conference either using a desk phone or a softphone.
A desk phone conference call
To add all the participants to a conference:
- Call the first participant and transfer them to your own conference room number - * 61. The participant will be added to a conference room, and the conversation with you will be interrupted.
- Do this with each participant: call them and transfer to * 61.
- Once you move all the participants to the conference room, call * 61 yourself and you will enter the conference room.
After an audio conference, dial * 65* to close the conference room and disconnect all participants.

- An item on the list «Exit» - One person is disconnected from the conference, other participants continue to communicate.
- «Disconnect all and exit» - all participants are disconnected from the conference, including you.
