In Vocera Collaboration Suite, a conference is a special
device state that lets you speak with multiple members of a team. This gives your phone push-to-talk quickness and the convenience
of a walkie-talkie.

If someone else is broadcasting, the screen indicates that the line is busy. When the line becomes free,
tap Push to Talk to gain access to it.
-
When you have gained access, begin talking. Everyone in the conference hears you.
-
When you are finished talking, tap the Push to Talk button.
Everyone in the conference hears a chirp, letting them know they
can now reply.
-
To end the call, tap End Call. The conference broadcast is
still active for other members. If the conference is silent for 10 seconds, the
broadcast session ends automatically.
