Connect to a Microsoft Teams meeting by calling in. Dial in as a participant, presenter, or organizer. Use dual-tone multiple-frequency (DTMF) commands to manage the conferencing experience.
Note: In Teams, conference call leaders are called presenters. The meeting organizer is automatically joined as the leader.
Join a meeting by phone audio
In Microsoft Teams, the Call me feature gives users a way to join the audio portion of a meeting by phone. This is useful when you're unable to use a computer for audio.
Users will be able to hear and speak in the meeting through their mobile or land-line phones. They can join on a second device to view shared content.
To call into a meeting:
-
Open a meeting in your Teams calendar.
-
Select Join.
-
Select Phone audio on the pre-join screen.
-
Select Join now.
-
Enter the phone number you'd like the meeting to call and select Call me.
-
Say "Ok" or press 1 to join the meeting.
-
Hang up or select Disconnect in the meeting window to end your call.
Call in to a Teams meeting
For most Teams meetings, you can join by dialing the conference call number. As soon as you connect to the call, use DTMF commands to mute your line or hear a list of people on the call.
Here are the typical DTMF commands available during a conference call:
|
