Handling Active Conferences
You handle active audio-only and video conferences differently.
You handle active audio-only conferences in the same way as you handle 
conferences for phones that are not connected to a Polycom HDX system (see 
Hosting Conference Calls on page 3-9). Except, an Add Video soft key displays 
so you can add additional video endpoints to the conference.
Note
If you have an active audio-only call, you can choose not to create a conference. 
You can place the active call on hold, and then place the call to the new person (see 
Placing Calls When You Have an Audio-Only Call on Hold on page 4-10).
A conference is automatically created when you have a video call and you answer 
an incoming call. See Answering Calls When You Have an Active Call on page 
4-12.
