You can use a Conference Call to connect multiple internal or external numbers on the same call. After you connect a call, additional participants can be invited to join the call. Participants you invite will see an incoming call from your number but won't be notified that it is for a Conference Call. You can remove individuals from the call one at a time or hang up to end the conference call for everyone simultaneously.
