How do I join an audio conference via phone in Zoom?

Environment

  • Zoom

Resolution

  1. Dial an in-country number for the country you are calling from. If you dial a toll number, your carrier rates will apply. You can find the numbers on your meeting invitation or a full list of international dial-in numbers at https://zoom.us/zoomconference.
  2. You will be prompted to enter the meeting ID - the nine (9), ten (10), or eleven (11) digit ID provided to you by the host, followed by #.
  3. If the meeting has not already started and join before host is not enabled, you will be prompted to enter the host key to start the meeting if you are the host, or to press # to wait if you are participant.
    Note: If you are the host, it is highly recommended to enable Join Before Host when scheduling your audio conference. 
  4. If you have joined on a computer or mobile device or are a panelist in a webinar, you will be prompted to enter your unique participant ID. Otherwise, press # to skip.
  5. If you join by computer or mobile device later, you can enter the Participant ID to bind your phone and device session together and show your video when you speak on the phone. To enter your participant ID once you are in the meeting, enter #Participant ID# on your phone.
The following commands can be entered via DTMF tones using your phone's dial pad while in a Zoom meeting:
  • *6 - Toggle mute/unmute
  • *9 - Raise hand
