I performed the demo on this Itechguide with Samsung Galaxy S9. If you use a different Android phone, some of the screenshots may look different for you.

Here are the steps to conference on your Android phone:

Call the First Person

Open the phone dialer and call the first person you want to be in the conference.

The first call is a normal call – you can dial the person’s number using the keypad, or dial the number from the Recent calls. You could also dial a number from your phone’s contact.

Add a Second Person to the Conference

Wait for the first person to pick up. Then, to conference call on Android, proceed with the steps below to add a second person to the conference.

Once the first person picks up, the Add call button will become available. To add the second call, click Add call. Your phone’s keypad will open.

The keypad will display Dial to add call. You can dial the second number by typing it in – then, click the dial button. You could also add the second person from your recent call list or from your phone’s contacts.

Wait for the second conference participant to pick up – then proceed to the next step.

Finally, to Conference Call on Android, Merge the Calls

Once the second person picks up, your phone screen will display like the one shown in the image below.

Depending on your Android phone, the screen may look different for you. Beneath or beside the first number you called, look out for the Merge button or the icon.

Click the Merge button or icon.

Your phone will start merging the calls.

Finally, your conference call on Android will be activated! You can add more participants or drop the call – for the steps to do this, see step 4.

Add More Participants or Finish the Conference

You can add more people to the conference call. Use the steps below to add more people or drop the call when you are done with the conference.

To add one more person, click the Add call button. Then, follow the steps described in step 2 to add the person to the call.

To add more people, wait for the person you are just adding to pick up. If the person has not picked up, the Add call button will be grayed out.

When you finish the conference call, click the end call button – like you would end a normal call.

As you can see, it is very easy to conference call on Android! I hope you found this Itechguide helpful. If you found it helpful, kindly share your thoughts about it at Itechguides Community
