Lock a conference to prevent Participants from joining. You must be an Organizer to lock a conference, and you'll need to already be in the conference.
Lock a Conference
In-Conference
From an active conference, select Organizer Controls > Lock Conference.
You'll see a pop-up advising that locking a conference should only be done after all expected Participants join.
Confirm, and the conference will be locked. You can also lock a conference by pressing CMD + Shift + L on your keyboard.
If you dial-in to the conference, press ## from your Organizer-designated phone.
Auto-Lock Timer
From the Dialpad UberConference dashboard, navigate to Settings > Auto-Lock Conferences.
Choose to automatically lock a conference after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 1 hour. It will reset the time after any unlocks.
Add or Reject a Participant While Locked
Pop-Up
From an active conference, select Unlock Call or Dismiss in the top-right corner of Dialpad UberConference. You'll see this pop-up any time a Participant tries joining the conference while it's locked.
If you've allowed a Participant to join, the conference is unlocked and will need to be locked again.
Participant Panel
From an active conference, select Participants in the bottom bar. You'll see a list of active Participants and any Participants waiting to join.
Screen the Participant(s) waiting to join, then select Unlock Conference or Remove Viewer.
If you've allowed a Participant to join, the conference is unlocked and will need to be locked again.
