How to Make a Conference Call on Android
Making a conference call on an Android device is a straightforward process. Most Android smartphones support this feature, allowing you to add multiple participants to a single call. Here are the general steps to make a conference call on Android:
Initiate the First Call:
- Open the “Phone” or “Dialer” app on your Android device.
- Dial the phone number of the first person you want to add to the conference call and tap the green “Call” button.
Add Participants to the Call:
- Once the first person answers the call, you can add more participants. You typically do this by tapping the “Add call” or “Add participant” button. This button may look like a “+” symbol or be labeled differently, depending on your device and Android version.
- After tapping the button, you’ll be taken back to the dialer or contact list to select another contact to call.
Dial the Next Participant:
- Dial the phone number of the next person you want to add to the conference call and tap the green “Call” button. The first call is put on hold temporarily.
Merge Calls:
- When the second person answers the call, look for an option to merge the calls. This option is usually labeled as “Merge” or “Merge calls.” Tap it to bring all participants into the conference call.
Repeat the Process (Optional):
- If you want to add more participants to the conference call, you can repeat steps 2 to 4 as many times as needed.
Manage the Conference Call:
- During the conference call, you can manage participants by using options like “Hold,” “Mute,” or “End call” for each participant. These options may vary depending on your device and dialer app.
End the Conference Call:
- To end the conference call, tap the “End call” button. This will disconnect all participants from the call.
The specific steps and options may vary slightly depending on your Android device’s manufacturer, Android version, and the dialer app you are using. In some cases, the conference call feature may also depend on your mobile carrier’s services.
If you experience any issues or can’t find the conference call feature on your device, you may want to refer to your device’s user manual or contact your mobile carrier for assistance.
