Attorney Conference Calls

Conference Calling For Attorneys and other Legal Organizations

Phone Volume: Conference Call

You may adjust your listening volume (how loud the conference call is to you) and your talk volume (how loud you are to the rest of the conference).

Listen Volume

The listen volume can be adjusted by each participant via their telephone keypad. This is a great feature especially if your phone (or headset) does not output volume as loud as you require.

Conference Call Listen Volume

There are three levels of volume available. The participant starts the conference call at a “normal” volume level. As *3 (Star three) is pressed, the conference volume is increased to a “higher” level. Pressing *3 again increases the listening volume to the “highest” level. Pressing *3 a final time will return the conference call listen volume to the “normal” level.

Summary: Toggle Listen Volume

  1. Conference Starts: “Normal” Volume
  2. Press *3: “Higher” Volume
  3. Press *3: “Highest” Volume
  4. Press *3: “Normal” Volume

Talk Volume

The talk volume adjustment works in a similar fashion as the listen volume. The talk volume can be adjusted by each participant via their telephone keypad. If your bluetooth headset or cell phone does not boost your volume sufficiently, this is a great feature to utilize.

Increase your talk volume in the conference call

There are three levels of volume available. The participant starts the conference call at a “normal” volume level. As *6 (Star six) is pressed, the talk volume is increased to a “higher” level. Pressing *6 again increases your talking volume to the “highest” level. Pressing *6 a final time will return your talking volume to the “normal” level.

Summary: Toggle Talk Volume

  1. Conference Starts: “Normal” Talk Volume
  2. Press *6: “Higher” Talk Volume
  3. Press *6: “Highest” Talk Volume
  4. Press *6: “Normal” Talk Volume

Conference Volume Web Controls

The host of the conference call has access via the “Conference Control Center” to adjust the talk and listen volumes of each individual line in the conference call.

Here’s an online tutorial for web based call control.

Summary

Conference call volume level adjustment capabilities are easy to use either on the phone keypad or via the web. It is a good way to keep the conference call levels at an optimal level for all participants, and also works great to reduce noise on a call by reducing the talk volume of a noisy line.
