Join a meeting or conference call by phone

You can connect to a Microsoft Lync Online communications software conference call, or to the audio portion of an online meeting, by calling in. You can dial in either as a participant, or as the conference call leader. Both leaders and participants can use dual-tone multiple-frequency (DTMF) commands to manage the conferencing experience.

Note:  In Lync Online and the Online Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Lync 2010, conference call leaders are referred to as presenters. The meeting organizer is automatically a leader.

For most Lync conference calls, joining is as simple as dialing the conference call number. As soon as you're connected to the call, you can mute your line or hear a list of people on the call by using DTMF commands.

The following table shows the typical DTMF commands available to participants during a conference call:

DTMF Code

Description

*1

Privately play a description of the available DTMF commands

*3

Privately play the name of each participant in the conference

*4

Mute audience, or return mute control to participants

Important:  Turning off audience muting does not unmute individual participants. When you turn off audience muting, participants hear a message explaining how to unmute themselves.

*6

Mute or unmute your microphone

*7

Lock or unlock the conference

*8

Admit all participants currently in the lobby to the conference. After you issue this command, everyone joining the meeting bypasses the lobby.

*9

Enable or disable announcements for participants entering and exiting the conference. Announcements are heard by everyone in the meeting
