Add start Audio Conference to the RingCentral Unified App from RingCentral Phone App

The RingCentral Phone app has a button where you can start an Audio Conference. It would be very useful if this button/feature were added to the RingCentral Unified app.


It would also be useful to be able to manage the Audio Conference directly from the RingCentral Unified App. The admin can control the audio conference by being able to mute the callers or disconnect the caller from within the app.


Would also be great if you can transfer a call into a audio conference as well and then add additional calls into the audio conference.

    My suggestion (https://ideas.ringcentral.com/ideas/CUSTCOM-I-4414) could perhaps be merged with this one.

    Agree. Sometimes a conference call is all that is needed -- it's not always necessary to do a video conference. The conference call information is deeply hidden under "Extension Settings" | <open Web page> | Phones & Numbers | Conference. Wow! That is a LOT harder that it should be. I need quick access to that information. It should be maybe one level off the main menu.

    I think "Video" should be replaced with "Meetings" or "Meet" Meetings (or Meet) could have "Video" and "Voice" sub-items.

    Adding a conference button in the Desktop app would help the host and participants just type the code to enter the call without any hurdle.

Change the "Video" section name to be "Meetings"

We do lots of meetings that don't involve video (cameras). I think "Meetings" or "Meet" would be a much more appropriate section name than "Video". See the attached image for a mockup and comparison.
