We had a teleconference yesterday and discussed over the status of documents vs We did teleconference yesterday and discussed over the status of documents

Both phrases have issues in terms of correct usage. The correct form would be "we had a teleconference yesterday and discussed the status of documents." The verb "discussed" does not need the preposition "over" in this context.
