Joining a conference on the PT Mini
Joining a conference on the PT Mini
You can join ad hoc, scheduled, and permanent conferences from the PT Mini.
Joining an ad hoc conference
When someone invites you to an ad hoc conference, the call behaves in the same way as
a direct call. You receive a notification on your home screen with the details of the
person who is trying to contact you. To accept the call, click answer call, and you can
speak directly to the person who want to add you to the conference. To accept the call,
click answer call, and you are added directly to the conference.
When someone adds you to the conference, you are able to communicate with anyone
else who is already in the conference too.
Alternatively, if you don't want to join the conference, you can ignore or reject the call
from the conference creator as you would with any person-to-person 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:
n
If there are no scheduled conferences for the day, the Join Now button displays no
conferences scheduled today
n 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
n 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
n 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
n 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.
Note: Permanent conferences do not trigger the Join Now button, and do not appear on
the button display.
