Handling Active Conferences
You handle active audio-only and video conferences differently.
You handle active audio-only conferences in the same way as you handle
conferences for phones that are not connected to a Polycom HDX system (see
). Except, an Add Video soft key displays
so you can add additional video endpoints to the conference.
Note
If you have an active audio-only call, you can choose not to create a conference.
You can place the active call on hold, and then place the call to the new person (see
Placing Calls When You Have an Audio-Only Call on Hold
on page
A conference is automatically created when you have a video call and you answer
an incoming call. See
Answering Calls When You Have an Active Call
