● 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.

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.
