If you make and answer a lot of calls throughout your work day or you manage multiple lines or shared lines, we've got just the thing for you. Just open the multi call window from Webex App. From there, you can make and answer calls, get a quick view of your line status, and easily access some common calling features, such as mute, hold, share, conference, park, barge, transfer, and record.
The following calling features are currently only available if you're set up with Unified CM: line status, barge, and privacy. Find out what calling service you have.
| 1 | In the app header, click your profile picture, go to , and then check the Show Multi Call window check box. |
| 2 | Click Save. |
Before you begin:
You must be set up with Unified CM to see your line status. Find out what calling service you have.
When you manage multiple lines or you share lines with coworkers, make use of our color-coded line status. At a glance, you can tell what's going on with all of your lines:
-
—a call is coming in -
—you're on a call -
—a line is free -
—a line is in use by someone else
When you start using the multi call window, privacy is automatically turned on. That means that if you share a line with other people, others won't be able to see when you're using that line. It also means others won't be able to barge into a call on that line. You can always turn that setting off at any time.
