I finally have a PIP tribunal date

I finally have a hearing date after my reasessment started initially in December 2022.  It is a telephone tribunal.  How will this work? Will I be on the phone for the whole tribunal or will they just call me when they want to talk to me?

A loved one had a telephone tribunal/ appeal that i listened in on. I was sat with him for support.
The judge rang them at the start and already had the others on the phone line. He introduced himself, the DWP person and the advocate.  Spoke to me and invited me to join in.   

So it was all set up ready and we stayed for the whole time just under an hour i think as they asked their questions.  Then we were asked to hang up whilst they discussed things. 

There was a phone call before to explain what would happen and i assume check we were ready and there to answer the phone.
