and mute all others.
• Dropping participants. The moderator can drop participants from the conference call as
per need.
In the absence of a moderator, all participants have the rights of a moderator. Each participant
can see all participants currently in the conference on their display screens.

5. To change the speaker, select the new participant and repeat Step 2 to Step 4.
