Problems solved by technology

[0003] But there's still a big hurdle in actually monitoring a conference call while doing secondary tasks, especially those that require listening or speaking
For example, a participant who mutes the audio output and listens to a conference call may have difficulty talking to a second party or listening to the conference call

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to communications and, more particularly, to methods and systems for conducting conference calls. Background technique [0002] Modern business practices often require several people to be contacted on the telephone to participate in a conference call. Teleconferencing has introduced certain applications and technologies that are superior to the situation where people are physically co-located in a meeting.

This flexibility allows specific participants to selectively participate in the conference call while focusing on another business, such as talking with another party. [0003] But there's still a big hurdle in actually monitoring a conference call while doing secondary tasks, especially those that require listening or speaking. For example, a p...
