What Is Conference Calling?

Conference calling connects multiple participants on a single call. On-VoIP provides dedicated conference bridges that allow your team and external participants to dial in, enter a PIN, and join the meeting — no extra software or apps required.

It's the simplest way to hold team meetings, client calls, and vendor discussions with crystal-clear HD Voice quality.

How Conference Bridges Work

On-VoIP conference bridges are virtual meeting rooms:

  1. A conference bridge is assigned a dedicated extension or DID number
  2. Participants dial the conference number
  3. Each participant enters a PIN to join
  4. The bridge mixes all audio together so everyone can hear each other

Moderators get a separate PIN with extra controls like muting participants, locking the conference, and starting/ending the call.

Setting Up a Conference Bridge

Creating a conference bridge in On-VoIP is quick:

  1. Log in to the customer portal
  2. Navigate to Conference Bridges
  3. Create a new bridge and give it a name
  4. Set a participant PIN and a moderator PIN
  5. Optionally assign a DID number so external callers can dial in directly

You can create multiple conference bridges for different teams or purposes — for example, a weekly team standup bridge and a separate client-facing bridge.

Conference Call Features

On-VoIP conference bridges include:

  • Moderator controls: Mute/unmute participants, lock the bridge, kick participants
  • Join/leave announcements: Optional tones or name announcements when people join or leave
  • Music on hold: Play hold music while waiting for the moderator to start the call
  • Recording: Record conference calls for later review (with call recording enabled)
  • No participant limit: Add as many participants as your plan supports

When to Use Conference Bridges

Conference bridges shine in scenarios where simplicity matters:

  • Team meetings: Daily standups or weekly check-ins — everyone dials the same number every time
  • Client calls: Give clients a professional dial-in number instead of sharing app links
  • Vendor coordination: Conference in multiple vendors without requiring them to install any software
  • Hybrid teams: Office and remote employees join the same bridge from any phone

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about conference calling.

How many participants can join a conference call?
The number of participants depends on your plan and bridge configuration. Business plans support generous participant limits for standard conference calls. Contact us for high-capacity needs.
Can external callers join the conference?
Yes. Assign a DID number to the conference bridge so anyone — customers, vendors, partners — can dial in from any phone.
Can I record conference calls?
Yes, if call recording is enabled on your account. Conference recordings are stored and accessible the same way as regular call recordings.
Do participants need to install any software?
No. Participants dial a phone number and enter a PIN. It works from any phone — landline, mobile, or VoIP softphone.
