How do conference calls work?

Set up and use conference calls with sipgate - conference room, dial-in numbers, and participant management.

Several participants, easy dial-in and flexible number assignment – with the conference room you have the option of organizing group calls flexibly.

The conference room accommodates 25 participants and allows easy dial-in without entering a PIN. You can freely choose which of your local or international numbers should be linked to the conference room.

If you have booked the room for group calls, it can be reached worldwide from all devices and is already usable in the test phase. It is possible to book several conference rooms per account.

The booking of the conference room is only possible as a admin option. You can cancel monthly.

The conference room you book in the account management under conference rooms.

In the next step, you can rename the room and assign an available number via routing.

Secure conference calls

The sipgate conference room requires no PIN. Nevertheless, you always have control over your conference calls. How does that work? At sipgate, multiple accounts do not share the same conference room, because each conference room has its own phone number. The following features are available to you in conferences:

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

• New participants are announced by a signal

• A 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 usual with a switchboard, you can directly transfer by keyboard shortcut to other employees or groups. The principle also applies to three-way conferences, where you connect with two additional participants connect can.

For this, simply first the first conference participant call. Transfer Then add the second conference participant via *3 Enter destination number or extension and confirm the action with #. Now simply *5 press to connect all participants of the conference. Want to leave the conference? Then simply hang up.
