BEFORE YOU SCHEDULE YOUR CONFERENCE:
- Try to establish how long the meeting will last
- Be aware of time zones for all participants when selecting the meeting time

10 MINUTES BEFORE YOUR CONFERENCE:

- Turn off the call waiting feature on your phone
- If using a landline, remove your mobile phone away from your telephone to avoid interference
