three-way call
Multi-party phone connection
A three-way call is a telephone conversation among three people simultaneously.
The feature allows one caller to add a second party to an existing call: I'll set up a three-way call so we can all discuss it together.
The term extends to video calls and conference lines, though larger groups typically become "conference calls."
