Important - Holding Conference Calls
You can hold a conference call in the same way as holding a normal call. Holding the conference call does not affect

Warning: This only applies to conference calls hosted by your own telephone system. Holding your call to a
conference hosted on another telephone system may cause that conference to hear your system's music on hold.
