Systems and methods for facilitating conference calls using security keys

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions, when executed, cause a conference call controller to perform a method, the method comprising:

• providing a first control link between a first primary communication device and the conference call controller, wherein the first control link facilitates the exchange of a first identification data comprising at least one first security key;
• providing a second control link between a second primary communication device and the conference call controller;
• and
• establishing a media link between the first primary communication device and the second primary communication device via the conference call controller;
• wherein the at least one first security key is configured to contain participation level data indicating at least one participation level of the first primary communication device or the second primary communication device.

A system for facilitating a conference call between a plurality of communication devices, the system comprising a conference call controller on which an application executes, wherein the application is programmed to perform a method, the method comprising:

• providing a first control link between a first primary communication device and the conference call controller, wherein the first control link facilitates the exchange of a first identification data comprising at least one first security key;
• providing a second control link between a second primary communication device and the conference call controller;
• and
• establishing a media link between the first primary communication device and the second primary communication device via the conference call controller;
• wherein the at least one first security key is configured to contain participation level data indicating at least one participation level of the first primary communication device or the second primary communication device.
