## FAQs
Conference calling requires a Business or Scale plan. Starter plan users need to upgrade to access group calling functionality.
Check that you haven't exceeded the 10-participant recommendation. Also verify that you're trying to add external numbers, not exceeding system limits.
Ensure the participant's number is correct and they have good cell coverage. They may need to manually accept the incoming call invitation.
You can only remove participants that you personally added to the call. Participants added by others can only be removed by their inviter.
Reduce the number of participants or ensure all participants have strong network connections. Consider using fewer participants for better audio quality.
Quo, formerly OpenPhone, doesn't currently show visual indicators of who's speaking. Encourage participants to identify themselves when speaking in larger groups.
