Harnessing the Power of 'Conference Flags' in Cloud Phone System
Welcome to this comprehensive guide on utilizing ‘Conference Flags‘ in your Cloud Phone System. This feature gives you the ability to control and customize the dynamics of your conference calls.
Let’s start by defining what Conference Flags are. Put simply, they’re a set of options or settings that empower you to tailor the functionality of your conference to your specific needs. Now, let’s delve into how you can apply them to your calls.
Identifying the Conference Room to Modify Flags
To incorporate flags, you’ll first need to go to Applications on your Cloud Phone System dashboard. From there, select ‘Conferences‘.
Identify the conference room you wish to modify with flags and click ‘Edit‘.
Scroll until you find the ‘Flags‘ field. This is where you’ll input your desired flags.

Adding the Conference Flag
Scroll until you find the ‘Flags’ field. This is where you’ll input your desired flags.
Identify the conference room you wish to modify with flags and click ‘Edit‘.
Let’s use the ‘wait-mod‘ flag as an example. This flag holds callers in a waiting state until a moderator joins the call. To add this, simply type ‘wait-mod‘ into the ‘Flags’ field.
After inputting your preferred flags, click ‘Save‘. Congratulations! You’ve successfully set up a Conference Flag.
Other commonly used flags include ‘mute‘ and ‘deaf‘. The ‘mute‘ flag restricts callers from speaking until given permission by the moderator, while the ‘deaf‘ flag renders callers unable to hear anything until the moderator enables their audio.
Remember, you can combine multiple flags in the same field. Simply separate them with a PIPE.
And that sums it up! You’re now an expert at configuring Conference Flags in the Cloud Phone System.
