How to Manage Conference Call Participants on Polycom’s VVX Series

First, let’s take a look at what functions are in your control during a meeting:

• Mute a participant
• Hold a participant
• Remove a participant from the conference meetings
• List information about a participant such as a name, number, call details, etc

Now, you initiate a conference call. Just follow these following steps to manage your participant settings:

• Select “Manage”. If you are in the Calls screen, highlight the conference first.
• Select the participant you want to manage
• Follow the instructions to manage your participants:
  • Select “Far Mute” to mute the participant. The muted participant can hear everyone but can not be heard by others.
  • Select “Hold” to hold the participant. The held participant cannot hear anyone and no one can hear the held participant
  • Select “Remove” to remove the participant from the conference, end the conference call and create an active call between you and the participant still in the call.
  • Select “Information” to view a participant’s call status.
• Select “Back” to exit the conference management function.
