If your administrator has added you to a broadcast
group, you can create a broadcast to the group if you have the necessary permission. Every member of the group
who is logged in can hear and participate in the broadcast.
If there is something urgent that you need to discuss with
your broadcast group, you can create an urgent broadcast. See Creating an Urgent Broadcast.

-
In the panel that displays the list of conversations, click the New icon.
-
From the pop-up menu that appears, select New Call.
The Start a New Call screen appears.
Note: You can also select New Chat.
If your department is not visible, your administrator has configured your system
to not display your department on this screen.
Note: If you are not logged into a Vocera device that can make calls, and do not have a console phone enabled,
this option is not available to you.
-
Do one of the following:
-
Right-click the group name. From the popup menu that appears, select Broadcast Call.
