Connecting a participant by phone
If your Halo location is equipped with a Halo telephone, you can add one or more people to your meeting, even if
they’re not in a Halo location or video conference. Each Halo location with a phone can have one telephone
connection to the meeting. Telephone participants can hear and be heard by everyone at the meeting, but they
cannot see what’s happening.
1. On the upper display, point to the
Phone icon at the top-left corner of the screen.
2. Enter the phone number by clicking the phone buttons, then click Call to dial the
number.
TIP: Click
to backspace and correct one or more digits. Click (comma) to insert a 1-
second pause in the number to be dialed.
3. If you want to enter additional digits after you dial the phone number, click additional
phone buttons—the digits are displayed as
to protect private passcodes.
When a phone connection is established, the
Phone icon in the top-left corner changes
to
as a reminder that your phone line is in use. When the meeting ends, all phone
connections automatically end.
A participant cannot call into a Halo meeting from the outside. Instead, someone in a Halo
location must call out to the participant.
TIP: You can connect more than one phone participant if you phone into a separate audio conference on a
Halo phone line.
TIP: You can call someone even if a meeting is not in progress. When the phone call is finished, point to the
Phone icon at the top-left corner, then click End to free the line. The phone line is not automatically freed
when a phone participant hangs up.
When a meeting ends, you have the option to keep the phone connected. Once you select End Meeting, a dialog
appears asking if you want to continue the phone call. If you do not respond, the phone call will end automatically
within 30 seconds.
