Effortlessly Navigate Calls: Learn Automated Keypad Entry Commands for Conference Calls

Audio conferencing keypad commands help control the conference call

Touch Tone Management for Reservationless Conferences

Control many aspects of the conference call from the telephone with the following keypad commands

Most often asked questions while on a conference call

Whose kid is screaming?
Please, can you mute your line?
Who is on the call right now?

Sound familiar? Unfortunately, when it comes to conference calls these issues simply are a part of conferencing. As an example there is a solution to any noise irritants while on a call. It's called self mute.

This is accomplished usually by the participants themselves by using a keypad entry on their phone to mute their phone line. They can still hear the conference but the noise in their environment won't continue to infiltrate to the entire call.

The easiest DTMF (dual-tone multi-frequency) keypad commands can make it all much easier. We’ve compiled the list of dialpad commands that can be used on a conference call. By the way, DTMF is the tone sound you hear when you press a key on your phone.
