- Wait a moment and the call will transfer and you will be removed from the call.
- When you are in a call, click the Call Controls icon.
- Consult with a person before transferring a call to him or her
- When you are in a call with the incoming caller, open a new Skype for Business window and make a second call. Enter the number of the person you want to speak with and press Enter. Or you can enter their name in the search box and click the phone icon beside their name to make the call.
- When you are in one call and you open a new call window to call a second person, the first caller is automatically placed on hold.
- When you are speaking to the person who will receive the transferred call, click the Call Controls icon and click Transfer.

- Transfer a call to the parking lot so that someone can pick it up
- When you park a call, you place it on hold so that a person who dials the retrieval number can retrieve it by dialing in the number displayed for retrieval.
- Only the audio portion of a call can be parked.
- If you know specifically who you want to answer the call, it’s better to transfer it instead because parked calls can be answered by anyone who dials the retrieval number.
- To transfer a call to the parking lot, click the Call Control icon, click Transfer call > Park the call.
- The call is parked and can be retrieved by anyone who dials the number to pick it up.
- Click Retrieve to retrieve it. Or click Copy to copy the number and open an email or an IM and share the retrieval number with another person.

- A name or list of names that match your search will appear. Move your mouse over the person’s presence button.
