8.9 Managing a Multi-Party Skype for Business Remote
Conference
A multi-party call conference based on the Skype for Business server (remote conference) can be
managed from the phone.
Note: Conferencing when BToE is not installed is described here. See Section 8.2.4 for
information about conferencing when BToE is installed.
In versions preceding 3.0, supported conference capability was locally based (phone based). As
of version 3.0, the phone of the conference initiator uses CCCP (Centralized Conference Control
Protocol) to establish the conference. The feature is integrated with Microsoft Exchange so in an
email invitation to join a Skype for Business meeting, you can click a Join link.

Business client's 'Favorites' displayed on the phone, or, if the contact you are searching
for is not in your 'Favorites', press the Groups softkey and navigate in the Corporate
Directory, Personal Directory, Outlook Contacts or Others to find them.
2. Press the Dial softkey.
