Using mute as a Conference call etiqutte

Be aware of whether or not your phone is on mute is an essential conference call etiquette. If you do put your phone on mute while on a conference call and it is always good conference call etiquette to do so whenever you are not talking, remember to take it back off mute when you talk.

Likewise remember to put it back on mute when you are finished. Nearly everyone who has been on conference calls regularly can recount at least one memory of someone forgetting to put their phone back on mute and then saying something that was definitely not intended for the ears of the other conference call participants, such as a negative remark about something relating to the call or another person on the call. This surely proves the important of this conference call etiquette.
