Start and Leave Conference Call w/o ending it?

[Frank86]

How do you handle the scenario where an assistant needs to start a conference call for his/her boss and then leave the call without ending it?
It doesn't seem to be possible to do this with 3CX; yet, it seems a pretty common scenario.
Any advice?

I normally choose Schedule instead of start now and that works whenever I have to setup a conference bridge for anyone. I simply provide them with the conference bridge details via email and they just dial in.

Yes, that is an option I proposed to our users, but they dislike it. Their boss wants them to start a conference bridge on the spot.

In that case what I normally do is create a bridge with a future date of say December 31, 2021 for each staff that require a dedicated bridge information which never changes. In that way the conference bridge will always be available for that individual and they can login and logout at anytime without ending it.

This is the workaround i use, so hopefully that can work for you as well.
