Connectware Conferences
- Aaron Bailey
A Conference bridge allows several people to call in and speak to one another. Note that the bridge will not allow an unlimited number of participants unless set to do so.
Add Conference
A simple name for the bridge.
Dedicated Conference Bridge: A bridge that is not assigned to a user and can be used by anyone. Default and recommended option.
Owned Conference Bridge: A bridge assigned to a specific user.
The extension assigned to the bridge that internal users will dial to access the bridge.
A DID can be assigned here. Note a DID must be set as “Available Number” in the Inventory page to be available to assign here.
PINs can be used to add security to the bridge. Avoid easy-to-guess PINs such as 1111 and 1234.
Set the maximum number of people who can join the bridge.
At least this number of people must be on the call to begin the bridge. This is normally 2.
Require a Leader to Start: The bridge will not begin (i.e. people will not be able to talk to each other) until a user joins with the leader PIN. Requires a leader PIN to be set.
Announce participant arrivals/departures: Announces when people join or leave the bridge. Can be distracting when there are many participants, use with caution.
Prompt all participants for their name: If enabled callers will be prompted for their name. Requires the above option be enabled as well.
