Call in – Conference calls on PC/Mac

    Call in to a conference when you are using a PC or Mac. Use either the internet (VoIP) or a phone.

    • Call via internet
    • Call by phone (for meetings held by a LITE, PRO, or BUSINESS subscriber)
      Tip: You no longer have to dial a number to call into a conference. Use your mobile to dial in by simply tapping a notification or scanning a QR code. See Easy Call-In on mobile

    What to do next:
    Note: You can also turn on your mic and speakers directly from your bubble. Just click Unmute me.

    Internet calling tips:

    • It's best to use a headset when joining via the internet – headsets pick up less background noise and help prevent echo and feedback
    • You may want to turn off music, videos and other sources of noise that could interfere with your call
    • You can run an audio test under Audio settings

    Call by phone

    Each time a LITE, PRO, or BUSINESS subscriber starts a join.me meeting we enable a conference line.

    The join.me conference telephone lines are not toll-free numbers. Anyone dialing into the conference line may be charged by their telecom service provider according to their calling plan.

    The conference number and conference ID are available on the telephone tab for both the organizer and participants:

    1. During a meeting hosted by a LITE, PRO, or BUSINESS subscriber, click the speaker icon.

      Result: The Audio mode menu is displayed.

    2. On the Audio mode menu, click Phone.
      Tip: Can't click Phone? You probably aren't in a LITE, PRO, or BUSINESS meeting.

    5. To call in as organizer, wait briefly after entering the conference ID and then enter the Organizer code starting with *3 followed by the four-digit code and the # (pound key or hashtag).

      Tip: If you enter the code incorrectly and must enter it again, remember to dial only the last four digits without the *3.
    Results:

    All participants join the same conference regardless of how they join: computer, phone, mobile app – everyone joins the same call.
