Webex App: Transfer a phone call

This article is republished from the Cisco Webex Help Center to give Virtual Guardians customers quick access to the most relevant guidance. Original source linked below.

When you're on a phone call, you can transfer that call to someone else and if you'd like, let that person know why you're transferring the call to them.

Webex App supports different types of calls that might affect the features you can use. If you're unsure which calling service you have, see Find Out What Calling Service You Have.
