Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Getting Started Guide
x Ability to start a conference call by selecting a group in the contact window. You can
multi-select contacts in the Contact List or click a group in the Contact List, and then select
a conference call option to start a conference.
x Improved connection in conference roster. New icons in the conference roster provide
additional conference connection status, indicating whether a user’s status is Inviting,
Connecting or Connected.

x Rejoin experience. If you are disconnected from a conference, you can now easily rejoin
the conference from a Rejoin button that appears in the Communicator Conversation
window or in the Conference Call item in the Outlook Conversation History folder.
Phone and Video
New Phone and Video features in Office Communicator 2007 include:
x The ability to move seamlessly between modes. With Office Communicator 2007, you
can seamlessly turn an IM session into a phone call, and then add video, all within the
familiar Communicator Conversation window. You can also invite additional contacts to
an IM session or phone call to create an IM conference or phone conference call.
x Communicator Call. Office Communicator 2007 no longer shows a contact’s SIP URI
(typically a contact’s e-mail address) as a menu item in the Call options menu. Instead,
Office Communicator 2007 provides a Communicator Call menu item, as shown in
Figure 1.4. When selected, Communicator Call places a call to all of the contact’s devices
that are running Office Communicator 2007. Depending on the devices that the contact has
configured, the call can be placed to a contact’s computer, or to a computer or USB
telephony device that has been configured for Office Communicator 2007.
