How to Set Up a Conference Call

Any Skype registered user can participate in a conference call.

Once they accept, they are in.

It can be anyone in your contact list.

Someone who is not invited can join the group call as long as the call host accepts.

They call the host, who is prompted to accept or reject the call.

These attendees will not use their Skype accounts.

Instead, they dial the host’sSkype number.

The host may also invite a non-Skype user usingSkypeOut, in which case the host incurs the calling cost.

How to Merge Calls

Merge calls to create a conference line.

The calls will merge.

Next time you start a conference call, start the call right away with the group.

Plan for at least 1 MB of web link throughput per participant.

If one of the participants has a slow connection, the conference may be disturbed.
