Apparatus and Method Pertaining to Multi-Party Conference Call Actions

A control circuit, during a multi-party conference call, provides a menu-based opportunity to a user to select at least one call-based action as regards individual parties to the multi-party conference call. This menu-based opportunity can comprise a user-selectable opportunity-selection zone on a touch-screen display. By one approach the call-based action can comprise an opportunity to selectively drop a particular party to the multi-party conference call. By another approach, in combination with the foregoing or in lieu thereof, the call-based action can comprise an opportunity to selectively split a particular party to the multi-party conference call away from the conference call to another call (such as, but not limited to, a held call).
