Webex App | Remove Someone from a Conference Call

Overview

During a conference call, you may need to remove a participant who was added accidentally or is no longer needed on the call. The Webex App lets you remove individual participants without ending the conference for everyone else.

Important Notes

  • You can only remove participants that you personally added to the conference.
  • You cannot remove the original call initiator or people added by other participants.
  • When the conference drops to 2 remaining participants, the call automatically reverts to a normal one-to-one call.
9800 Series Desk Phone Users: The participant panel and remove feature are only available through the Webex App, not on the desk phone screen. Keep the Webex App open on your computer alongside your desk phone to manage conference participants. See Webex App | Manage All Your Phone Calls in One Place for setup instructions.
