Participants can be added to the conference in the following methods:
● Defining a new participant during the definition of the conference (clicking the New button).
● Adding pre-defined participants from the Address Book by either selecting the participants from the
list or dragging and dropping the participants from the Address Book to the Participants list.
● Dial-in participants can connect to the conference after it was started (without using the New
Conference - Participants dialog box).
● Once the conference has started, participants can be added to a conference directly from the
Participants Address Book without having to use the New Conference – Participants tab.
