Details

If your account (or your provider's account) is using the Zoom platform, participants have the option to call into the conference using the Zoom meeting ID. This is different from the SecureVideo ID, but this support article will go over where to obtain this number and how to use it. 

 

If you are joining a session that requires a payment, the dial-in buttons referenced below will not appear until the payment has been made.

 

If you are joining a session by phone where "Join Before Host" is disabled, you will not be prompted for the meeting password until the host joins and starts the meeting.

 

If your account administrator or provider has not enabled dial-in, the buttons referenced below will not appear at all.
