Call Control using Headsets

Using certain Jabra and Yealink headsets on the Cymbus desktop app, you can control your active calls and meetings directly from the headset controls instead of clicking the on-screen prompts. The LED status light on the headset reflects the app call status, such as whether you're busy or receiving an incoming call.

Supported call control functions include:

  • Answer or decline an incoming call

  • Mute and unmute

  • Volume control

  • Hold and resume the call

  • Call waiting (Hold and Accept / Decline the second call)

  • Swap between two calls

  • End the call

  • Leave the meeting

The following are also supported if it's available to your headset.

  • Moving a microphone boom arm

  • Docking/undocking a headset from a docking station

Note

Each headset has different buttons and actions. Refer to your headset documentation on how you use the headset buttons for call control.
