Conference Bridges

What is a Conference Bridge?

Our conference bridge allows up to 2,500 people participate in a scheduled group call meeting. Individuals may dial in to a specified number or extension, provided by the host of a conference call. Access is only granted to those with the PIN number to join the call. 

How do I Start or Join a Conference?

1. Dial either the conference bridge phone number or extension to either initiate or join a conference.

2. After dialing the conference number, an automated voice will request the PIN provided by the host. Enter the PIN then press #. The announcement will request your name to notify the host that you have joined the Conference Bridge.

How do I add an Admin PIN?

Send an email to [e-mail] to add an Admin PIN to your conference bridge. This PIN is for the host only and should not be shared with the guests of your call.

Advanced Options:

Starting/Ending the Conference Options

• Admin Wait - Wait for Admin/Operator to join a conference before starting.
• Admin Leave - Kick all users after Admin/Operator leaves the conference.
