Exploring the webphone

The webphone is simple and intuitive to use. To test your connection click the "Echo Test" button. This will make a call to the conference system. You will hear a voice explain the echo test, you may then speak and your voice will be echoed back. If your voice sounds clear and undestorted then everything is well.

- To call the conference system click the "Conference" button. To mute your microphone while you are in a conference call click the "Mute" button. It is a good idea to mute yourself when you are not speaking.
- For technical support click "Support".
- For assistance configuring and testing the phone connection click "Phone Help"

Making a conference call

Here is a picture of the webphone while in a conference call, which we connected to by clicking the Conference button (1). I muted myself by clicking the Mute button (2) which changes colour to crange and reads "Unmute" while I am muted. To disconnect from the conference I would click the Hang Up button (3).
