If you add a participant "with Sidebar" please notify all other participants currently on a conference call that you are adding someone else and that they can continue among themselves, but that you will be muted from the call for a moment. When you have successfully connected with the party you are calling you will see a message "You are currently sidebarred with "party name" - you will need to press the ACCEPT button to place them on the conference call and return you to the conference call. Alternately, you may add a party without using the Sidebar function by un-checking the box "add with sidebar."
