Active Call Options (Mute, Transfer, Switch Phone, and more)

When a call is in progress, the status, dialed number, and call timer will be displayed at the top of the screen along with the following call functions:

  • Mute – Disables the microphone.
  • Hold – Places the other party on hold.
  • Dial Pad – Enables you to use digits when dialing into an auto attendant/IVR.
  • Transfer – Transfers the call with a choice to transfer blindly, without a call announcement, or with assisted transfer where the call is announced to the destination party.
  • Add Call – Enables the user to create a second call that is separate from the first call. Once the second call is connected, you can merge the call in a three-way conference or keep the calls separate with the ability to swap between calls.
  • Switch Phone – Moves the call to other devices you own that support Hosted Voice calls.
  • Contacts – Opens the Contacts screen, which enables you to make a second call, and then optionally merge (conference) or transfer the call.
  • More – Launches a new window with options to hide call, return to the main view of contacts/history/voicemail, or to start recording for on-demand call recording, if enabled on your account.
