      Phone Guide: Conference Call

      This guide covers the steps to complete a call conference and its variants from your Yealink physical phone.

      The phone supports creating local conference and network conference. During the conference, follow these tips:

      -Use the handset or a headset if you're in an open environment.
      -Mute your microphone when you are not speaking, especially in noisy environments.
      -Avoid tapping or rustling papers near the microphone.
      -Speak in your normal voice without shouting.

      Note: This guide applies to Yealink models T54W, T57W and T53W.
