Adding participants
You can add a participant to a conference in two ways: either on an "ad hoc" basis, where an endpoint
previously unknown to the MCU is only configured when it is immediately required, or on a preconfigured
basis, where the MCU uses its record of the endpoint in the conference configuration. An ad hoc participant's
details must be provided each time the MCU invites it, while a preconfigured endpoint can be added to a
conference in advance to be called whenever the conference is active. This is especially useful for recurring
conferences. See
