Room-broadcasting phone feature
A speakerphone is a telephone with a microphone and loudspeaker that allows hands-free conversation, letting multiple people in a room participate in a call or freeing the user to do other things while talking.
Most smartphones and office phones have speakerphone capability activated by pressing a button.
