At sipgate, not multiple accounts share the same conference room, because each conference room has its own phone number. The following features are available to you in the conferences:

• An acoustic signal letting you know when you are the first person in the room

• New participants are announced by a signal

• Any new phone number can be assigned to the conference room at any time

• If needed, the conference room can be switched on or off

Start a three-way conference

As is customary with a telephone switchboard, you can directly forward incoming calls using a keyboard shortcut to other employees or groups. The principle also applies to three-way conferences, where you can connect with two other participants connect .

For this, simply first call the first conference participant Then call the second conference participant via Transfer join them. To do this, simply enter *3 and the desired destination phone number or extension and confirm the action with #. Now simply *5 press to connect all conference participants together. Want to leave the conference? Then simply hang up.
