Joining a conference

You can join ad hoc, scheduled, and permanent conferences from the PT Mini.

Joining an ad hoc conference

When someone adds a person to a call, this is known as an ad hoc conference. If someone adds you to their call, you receive a incoming call. To accept the call, select answer call to speak to the person who wants to add you to their call.

If you do not want to join the conference, ignore or reject the call.

Joining a scheduled conference

If you receive an invitation to a conference, the details of that conference are listed on the home screen. The details are shown on the Join Now button on the day of the scheduled conference. The behavior of the Join Now button varies depending on the details of the conference:

• If there are no scheduled conferences for the day, the Join Now button displays no conferences scheduled today
• If there is a scheduled conference for the day, the Join Now button displays the name of the next conference and the time it starts
• If you receive invitations to two overlapping conferences, the details of the first conference due to start display on the Join Now button. When the first conference has ended, the details of the second conference display. To join the second conference at any time, dial the unique seven-digit direct number
• When the conference is due to take place in ten minutes or less, the Join Now button is lit green and, instead of the time, displays how many minutes until the conference is due to start
• When the conference starts, the Join Now button flashes. Anytime after the Join Now button lights green, you can click the button to join the conference

If a previously scheduled conference is deleted, the conference details are removed from the conference button.

Permanent conferences do not trigger the Join Now button, and do not appear on the button display.
