iOS 9 & OS X FaceTime Audio call merge / Conference

I am trying to merge a FaceTime Audio call between 2 iOS and 1 OS X, so far with no luck. I can make call from iOS to other two simultaneously, but cant merge all three of them. Merge button is disabled / grey'ed out.

I wanted to know if anyone is able to make an audio FaceTime conference call between iOS and OS X. I see bunch of questions, answers and tutorials on how to make 3 way iOS FaceTime Audio, but nothing on OS X FaceTime.

I am using following.

iOS 9 iPad mini 2
iOS 9 iPhone
OS X El Capitan MacBook Pro mid 2012

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

There may still be a problem with conference calling using FaceTime, even for three iOS devices. It was not possible in iOS 7, 8 and 9.0. Many of us have been awaiting a fix for some time.

No where in the information that I have found in the iPhone User Guide indicates that you have the ability to merge calls. Even when it comes to merging cellular calls, not all carriers support that feature. http://help.apple.com/iphone/9/#/iph3dc0cb20d

Use FaceTime with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
