# Call Conferences

## Conference Room

You can think of a Conference Room as a physical meeting room, in as much as it can only support one meeting at a time. If you are set to need to hold multiple simultaneous conference calls, multiple conference rooms need to be built. To aid the management of conference rooms, and avoid double bookings, a schedule facility is available within a room.

## Edit Conference

**Schedule Meetings**  
Scheduling is important, especially if you are set to lock the room by default. Any locks are removed **10 minutes before** a scheduled meeting is set to start. Using the scheduling tool meeting timings can be applied, along with the ability to override the default PIN number for the room, and optionally send invites.

**Sending Invites / Branding**  
The invitations are sent out as a generic email along with a calendar integration attachment. The branding of which is applied across the platform and cannot be altered on a per user basis.

**Live View**  
Provides users with a visual representation of the virtual room. As participants enter or leave they will appear on-screen. If they are in an associated address book their name / photo will appear. Various controls are available including the option to mute all or individually, and to lock the room (thus preventing new participants entering).

**Itemised Call Records**  
A simple means of seeing all previous conferences with access to a call recording (if enabled).
