Here is conference call etiquette:
1. Call in on time and say your name but don't yell it.
2. After you call in put yourself on mute immediately if it isn't your meeting.
3. Only un-mute yourself if you are speaking.
4. Don't say thanks at the end of the call just drop, no one cares.
5. If you call in late don't say your name, it will beep anyway. If the host really cares they'll ask "I heard a beep, who just joined." It isn't your meeting to interrupt.
This my friends is how you don't act like an idiot in a conference call.
The cardinal sin of conference calls is putting the call on "hold" rather than "mute" so all other callers get the music or hold recording for your office. It happens more that I could ever imagine.
