Integrating preset callback into conference calls

Logic encoded in a non-transitory tangible computer readable medium for execution by a processor, and when executed operable to:

• receive data representative of a conference call for a meeting, the data representative of the conference call for the meeting comprising data representative of a meeting time and data representative of an associated meeting invitee;
• receive data representative of a callback number and data representative of a callback time from the associated meeting invitee;
• initiate communications with the associated meeting invitee at the callback time at the callback number;
• selectively couple the associated meeting invitee with the conference call;
• wait for data representative of a response from the associated meeting invitee before selectively coupling the associated meeting invitee with the conference call;
• initiate communications with the associated meeting invitee at the new callback time responsive to the data representative of a response from the associated meeting invitee indicating a new callback time;
• and
• provide data representative of the new callback time of the associated meeting invitee to associated conference call meeting participants coupled with the conference call.

A method, comprising:

• receiving data representative of a conference call for a meeting, the data representative of the conference call for the meeting comprising data representative of a meeting time and data representative of an associated meeting invitee;
• receiving data representative of a callback number and data representative of a callback time from the associated meeting invitee;
• initiating, by a conference server, communications with the associated meeting invitee at the callback time at the callback number;
• selectively coupling, by the conference server, the associated meeting invitee with the conference call:
• waiting for data representative of a response from the associated meeting invitee before selectively coupling the associated meeting invitee with the conference call;
• initiating communications with the associated meeting invitee at the new callback time responsive to the data representative of a response from the associated meeting invitee indicating a new callback time;
• and
• providing data representative of the new callback time of the associated meeting invitee to associated conference call meeting participants coupled with the conference call.
