Hoteling with Webex Phones
Hoteling feature enables you to temporarily load your phone profile onto another phone. This will enable a specific phone (host) to be used as your own phone. This helps when traveling to other OTC locations and you want to make or receive calls with your phone number and access features available on your office phone.
This article will detail the hoteling process in the Webex User Hub and explain how to turn it on, turn it off, and more.
ATTN: The user profile will need to have Hoteling enabled by IT. Please contact the Help Desk before you attempt to turn on Hoteling.
