Disconnecting participants from a conference

There are several ways to disconnect a participant from a conference: Using the Administrator interface, Using Infinity Connect, Using the Infinity Connect Mobile client for iOS and Using DTMF. Each of these options is described below.

Third-party applications can also use the management API to disconnect participants from a conference. For more information, see Introduction to the management API.
