A teleconferencing system that enables facilitator-led teleconferences in which a caller can transfer their call to a different conference group, facilitator, or another party by initiating a transfer command, such as by pushing a particular key on their telephone keypad. Application software controls a switch that automatically transfers a caller to a different conference group, facilitator, or party when a transfer-initiating act, such as pressing a key on a keypad, is sensed. The transfer is reported to the current facilitator and to the new facilitator, if any, who is provided with contact information regarding the transferring-in caller.
