Call in to a skype for business meeting

If the meeting request for a Skype for Business Meeting includes a dial-in phone number and conference ID, then you can call into the meeting. Calling in is handy if you don't have a computer or prefer to use a phone for audio.

Important:  If you or another Skype for Business for Office 365 operated by 21Vianet user set up the meeting, the meeting request will not include call-in information. This might be true in other cases as well, depending on the meeting organizer's account configuration. For details contact your workplace technical support.

Note:  If you don't want to call in with a phone, you can connect to the meeting by using Skype for Business. For details, see Join a Lync Meeting.

1. On your phone, dial the conference number listed in your meeting request.

Tip:  If you're traveling, click Find a local number in the meeting request to find the numbers available for your current location.

1. Enter the Conference ID by using your phone dial pad.

2. Enter a PIN and work number or extension if prompted. This happens only if you're an attendee of a secured meeting that requires admits only authenticated callers.

   Note:  If you don't remember your PIN, in the meeting request, click Forgot your Dial-in PIN, and follow the instructions about resetting your PIN.

   Depending on the Skype for Business Meeting settings, you might have to wait to be admitted, or you might get connected automatically.
