SPEAQ CONFERENCE CALL FUNCTION KEY

At SPEAQ, we believe our customers should be in total control of their conference calls, and so to make sure your conference call goes smoothly and is as effective as possible, we’ve a series of function keys you can use at any time during the call. Most of these in-call function keys can only be used by the chairperson of the teleconference, with just the mute function available to all callers. Be sure to let all participants know about the mute function, and encourage them to use it when they’re not speaking on call – otherwise you might hear them breathing, typing or even eating while the call is in progress! And be sure to also tell them to avoid using the mute function on their device, in case it plays a hold tone. Always use the mute function key.
