Name recording - As part of the joining process, all participants can be prompted to record their names.
Chair hang-up - determines when the conference will end. If set to "On" then the conference will end when the chairperson disconnects. If set to "Off", the conferences ends when the last person disconnects.
Allow chair dial-out - when this feature is set to "On," once in a conference the chairperson has the ability to dial-out and invite other participants.
Allow mute-all - when this feature is set to "On" any participant has the ability to mute all other participants through the Online Tools.
Prompt for Customer Reference - when this feature is set to "On," the chairperson will be prompted to input a client billing code after he/she has entered the chairperson passcode. This billing code will then appear as a reference number for this conference on the invoice.
Current Customer Reference - if an alphanumeric client billing code is required then it can be entered in this space. It will appear on the invoice in exactly the same way as a client billing code entered via the touch tone functionality. If both codes are entered, the one entered last will take precedence.
Conference Summary Email/Send to Email Address - when this feature is set to "On," the chairperson will receive an email summary of the conference call. Email summaries will continue to be sent for every call until the feature is turned off. The summary provides information on the number of participants, the date and time of the meeting, and whether dial-out was used. The summary email is NOT a billing record.
Send to Email Address - specify the email address the Summary Email will be sent to.
