In Conference Commands

Telecom Audio Conferencing provides in conference commands to improve the quality and security of your conference. The commands available to you depend on the features you elect to use when setting up for conference, specifically Participant Name Record and Guest PIN.

The following menus outline the In Conference Commands based on the features selected for use.

Basic Menu

If the Convenor and the participants are using neither the Participant Name Record function nor a Guest PIN, they can do the following:

Basic Command Menu Key Sequence
Operator Assistance *0
Mute/Un-mute Self *6 (toggle)
Mute Participant Group (convenor only) 759#
Un-Mute Participant Group (convenor only) 957#
Lock (and unlock) Conference (convenor only) *7 (toggle)

Note that if you are using a single (Host) PIN, then the Convenor and all Participants can use the entire Menu whereas with a Guest PIN, certain functions are available only to the Convenor.

Participant Name Record Enabled Menus

The following menus are only available for those who have activated Participant Name Record and are designed to add extra control for the Convenor and security for the conference. This should be used in conjunction with a Guest PIN to maximise the control and security benefits.
