Working with Conference Calls
What is a
Conference
Call?
A conference call involves more than two users. In a conference call, participants may
talk via phone, chat in the Chat window, share their desktops, and invite others.
Starting a
Conference Call
from the Lync
Window
From the main Lync window, you can initiate a conference with others by e-mail
invitation or by selecting a contact. The e-mail option in Meet Now allows non-IU
participants or those away from their desks to join via web browser.
To initiate a Meet Now conference:
1. Click the Lync Menu button and click Meet Now.
A Conversation Window opens:
2. Click the People Options drop-down menu.
A set of choices is displayed:
3. To bring someone who utilizes either Lync or Communicator directly into the
conference, click Invite by Name or Phone Number.
To invite someone who is neither available via Lync nor Communicator, or is a
non-IU person, choose Invite by E-mail. This allows both IU and non-IU
participants to join.
