A '''conference call''' is a [[telephone call]] in which someone talks to several people at the same time. The conference call may be designed to allow the [[called party]] to participate during the call or set up so that the called party merely listens into the call and cannot speak. It is sometimes called '''ATC''' ('''audio teleconference''').
Conference calls can be designed so that the calling party calls the other participants and adds them to the call; however, participants are usually able to call into the conference call themselves by dialing a telephone number that connects to a "conference bridge," which is a specialized type of equipment that links telephone lines.
