Как включить конференцию на телефоне

Солидная часть трафика уже давно перекочевала на смартфоны. В них можно найти приятные воспоминания, гигабайты контента и рабочие задачи, а еще — в памяти девайса хранятся контакты и диалоги.

Конференц связь на телефоне налаживает коннект между несколькими людьми. При желании можно включить видеотрансляцию или демонстрацию экрана. В новом материале рассказываем, как подключить конференц связь на телефонах, и что для этого нужно.

Что нужно, чтобы организовать конференц-связь по мобильному телефону

Мобильная конференц связь доступна каждому, у кого есть смартфон. Для этого не нужны дополнительные приложения и программы. Достаточно связаться с собеседником через обычный звонок.

Но перед тем как сделать конференц связь на телефоне, стоит убедиться в нескольких нюансах:

1. Стоит уточнить, сколько людей будут участвовать в конференции. Если не более 5, использовать дополнительные программы не нужно.
2. Определиться, нужно ли для общения видео. Если да, то стоит использовать отдельные приложения.

Затем можно приступать к настройке конференц связи. Далее расскажем, как как настроить конференц связь на телефоне. Для начала к звонку стоит подготовиться:

1. До начала аудиоконференции на телефоне проверьте, включена ли услуга в ваш тарифный план и сколько она будет стоить. Чтобы это сделать, зайдите в личный кабинет или позвоните оператору сотовой связи. У него стоит спросить, можно ли добавлять участников в конференцию, а еще — уточнить, есть ли дополнительные условия для объединения входящих и исходящих вызовов.
2. Зарядите гаджет. Конференции быстро садят батарею. Лучше иметь под рукой портативный аккумулятор (Power Bank), чтобы можно было оперативно подключить разрядившийся телефон.
3. Установите на устройстве режим «Не беспокоить» или «Без звука», чтобы звук входящего вызова или оповещений не отвлекал от конференции. Чаще всего эти режимы есть в меню быстрого доступа («шторка», которая открывается, если провести от верхнего края экрана вниз, слева-направо, либо снизу-вверх, в зависимости от фирмы и модели гаджета). Если их нет — регулируйте в «Настройках» раздел «Звуки».

Иконки режимов «Не беспокоить» и «Без звука»

1. Выберите для беседы место без сильного шумового фона и со стабильным сигналом сотового оператора. Если вы связываетесь с людьми через приложение, понадобится стабильный интернет (подойдет и мобильный, и Wi-Fi). Подключить интернет можно все через ту же «шторку», либо в настройках устройства.

Как позвонить по конференц связи с помощью iPhone

Владельцы iPhone могут пригласить в конференц-вызов максимум 5 участников. Для этого нужно сделать следующее:

1. Наберите первого собеседника и дождитесь ответа. Предупредите его о конференц-связи.
2. Нажмите кнопку добавления участников. Она выглядит так — «».
3. Дозвонитесь до второго участника.
4. Нажмите кнопку «». Так вы объедините два вызова в одну беседу.
5. Хотите пригласить еще участников? Повторите шаги 2, 3 и 4.

Как это выглядит на iPhone

Обратите внимание: если кнопки объединения вызовов нет, это значит, что услуга не включена в ваш в тарифный план и нужно консультироваться с оператором.

Если превышен лимит собеседников, у вас не получится позвонить еще одному человеку. Дополнительно вы получите SMS-напоминание о максимальном числе участников телефонной конференции.

В отличие от звонков в Zoom или Skype, где все участники видят иконки и имена друг друга, в телефонной конференции этого нет. Имена участников видит только организатор звонка. А вот если человек, которому позвонили, решит добавить кого-то еще, то он увидит имя создателя конференции и приглашенного человека.

К примеру, в конференции Zoom все видят имена участников

Владельцам iPhone, а также иных устройств американского бренда, например, плееров iPod Touch 4 и более прогрессивных поколений, iPad 2 и далее, iMac и ноутбуков MacBook, доступна функция групповых вызовов FaceTime.

Групповые вызовы FaceTime на iPhone — что такое и как пользоваться

FaceTime — приложение в «яблочных» девайсах для видео- и аудиозвонков через веб-камеру. Настроить конференц связь в этом приложении можно так:

• Нужен смартфон с iOS 12.1.4 или более поздней версией оболочки, например, iPhone 6s и дальнейшие версии. Если модель ранняя, но поддерживает iOS 12.1.4, стать участником конференции вы сможете, но, вероятно, будут проблемы с видео.
• Стабильный Wi-Fi или мобильный интернет.

К одной беседе можно подключить максимум 32 собеседника. Важно, что FaceTime работает не во всех странах и регионах.

Это приложение встроено в iPhone, но его все равно нужно активировать. Вот как это сделать:

1. Зайдите в «Настройки» и передвиньте бегунок, что сделать FaceTime активнім.
2. Найдите FaceTime и откройте приложение.
3. Войдите в приложение. Вам потребуется идентификатор Apple ID. Сначала нужно нажать на FaceTimе, а потом — «Ваш Apple ID для FaceTime».

Обратите внимание: при использовании FaceTime iPhone автоматически фиксирует номер телефона. При желании также можно вручную вбить свой адрес электронной почты.

Когда приложение активировать, звонить по конференц связи можно такими способами:

1. Из самого приложения FaceTime.
2. Из приложения «Сообщения».

Как организовать конференц связь по мобильному телефону на Андроиде

У телефонов с ОС Android нет встроенного приложения, как FaceTime у iPhone. Но аналоги в любой момент можно скачать, установить и запустить.

Конференц связь на андроиде без приложения можно активировать так:

1. Дождитесь ответа первого участника беседы.
2. Нажмите кнопку «Добавить вызов» (Значок «+»). Первый собеседник перейдет в режим ожидания.

Кнопка «Добавить вызов» на Android

1. Затем найдите номер второго собеседника в списке контактов или наберите по памяти. Дождитесь ответа.
2. На экране появится кнопка «Объединить».
3. Как только все вызовы будут объединены, на экране появится сообщение «Конференц-вызов».
