Conference Calls Etiquette
There are some procedures followed when conducting conference calls with large numbers of participants. A form of call etiquette, if you will. This is quite necessary in order to reduce the confusion that would otherwise occur were it not for these rules regarding when one should speak or not. Normally, for conference calls involving very large numbers of people, there is a sort of program to be followed where everyone is muted while only certain speakers can be heard through the lines. There are also usually specific periods where in other parties may be able to speak. This allows hundreds of people to participate in these sorts of calls without anyone getting confused.
