<span id="topic-8" style="padding-top:40px;">Park and Retrieve Calls</span>

With the call park feature, you can transfer calls through the use of call park groups. A call park group is a group of users who can park calls against phone lines. Call park groups are set by your administrator. Call park is similar to placing a call on hold, except that a parked call can be retrieved from any other phone.

If you’re a member of a call park group, you can park an active call on Webex. When you park a call, the call gets assigned a parked number. You can then use that parked number to retrieve the call from another device, or share the number for someone else to retrieve the call from their device.

To park a call:

1. 1. While on a phone call, select More.

2. 2. Select Group Park. The call is placed on hold and the extension of where the call is parked is displayed.

Note: If you parked a call by accident, you can retrieve it by selecting the green Retrieve button at the bottom of your call window. This call window is only available for 10 seconds.

3. 3. Take note of the extension to use yourself or to share with the person who needs to retrieve the call.

To retrieve a call:

1. 1. Select the Retrieve Call option from the footer of your app.

2. 2. Enter the extension of the call you’d like to retrieve.

‍Note: If you park a call and it isn’t retrieved within a certain amount of time (time limit determined by your administrator), the call gets returned to the person who parked the call.
