How to enable Call Conference on CUCM?

 In this post I will be configuring Cisco Call manager to allow users to join a phone call to make a conference.

follow the following steps:

1. Login to CM Administration page

2. Go to Call Routing > Conference NOW

3. Add new > and configure something similar to the following:

Add a number that you will be dialing to join a conference like (*3000)

select the route partition, and choose the Music on Hold option if want to.

now note that for the number that you want to dial a conference with, it must have the following configs under End User.

Go to > End User > search a number like 1169 in my screenshot.

Add the following because it is really important: self-service user ID

 

 

without this step you will not be able to configure the one below:

 

Enable End user to Host Conference now must be ticked.

then add the access code that you will have to enter when dialing *3000

Now all you have to do is make a call using the extension: 1169 then use another extension and dial *3000, once you here the reply machine asking for the meeting number you must enter 1169 then you will have to enter the Attendees Access Code 123123

and you will join the call.

hope this helps!
