Let participants continue the teleconference without the host

*8 Then hang up your phone.

This command is the equivalent of clicking Leave Meeting instead of End Meeting For All on the computer. You will leave the session without ending the session.

Lock/Unlock the session

*5

Blocks all entry or allows others to join. Useful for interviews. 

If a participant drops out (ex. poor Wi-Fi connection), you will need to unlock the room for them to rejoin.

A scheduled session always starts in an unlocked state. A Personal Room begins locked.

Candidates sometimes like to join their interview ahead of their time to make sure their connection works. If they do this in an unlocked room, they may inadvertently join the at tail end of the interview that was scheduled before theirs.
