Conference Calls with Multiple Participants
Your video system may be 
equipped with the capability to 
intiate a video conference with 
multiple participants.
• 
The maximum number of 
participants on a call depends 
on the system conguration 
and video infrastructure.
• 
If you want to initiate an ad hoc 
video conference, you must 
call each participant one by 
one. If you are the one who 
initiated the conference you 
will be able to terminate the 
entire conference. The other 
participants, however, may 
only disconnect themselves 
from the conference.
• 
Depending on their endpoint 
conguration, some 
participants may be audio-only.
• 
Ad hoc video conferencing is 
not supported if your software 
version is 8.1.2 or earlier. You 
can add a maximum of one 
audio-only participant to an 
existing call.
• 
Contact your voice support 
team for more information 
on supported conferencing 
functionality.
