Getting Set up for Online Meetings This section covers the following: Dial-in Conferencing Set up your personal identification number (PIN) BACK TO OBJECTIVES

Understanding Dial-in Conferencing Dial-in Conferencing Dial-in Conferencing is an audio option for online meetings that allows participants, inside or outside your organization, to join the meeting audio using a phone. Your participants can just dial the number in your meeting invitation, enter the Conference ID and join the audio. Personal Identification Number (PIN) If you are not on your corporate Network and want to dial in to a meeting using a phone, as a leader or authenticated caller, you’ll need your extension and PIN. An Authenticated caller is a user on the same enterprise as the meeting organizer or federated with the enterprise. Each user within your company can join as an Authenticated caller using their PIN and extension. When you use your PIN, you are identified and authenticated and your name will show in the Participant List together with your role. Note: If you don’t use your PIN, you can still dial in to the meeting, but you won’t be authenticated or be able to start the call as the leader. BACK TO OBJECTIVES
