WebEx is a popular video conferencing platform that allows users to connect with others remotely. One of the features of WebEx is the call-in option, which allows participants to join a meeting by dialing into a phone number instead of using their computer or mobile device. In this article, we will explain how to use the call-in option in WebEx.
Step 1: Start a Meeting
To start a meeting with the call-in option enabled, log in to your WebEx account and click on the “Start” button. Select “Meet Now” or “Schedule” depending on whether you want to start an instant meeting or schedule one for later.
Step 2: Enable Call-In Option
Once you have started a meeting, click on the “Call Me” button in the top right corner of the screen. This will enable the call-in option and provide you with a phone number to dial into.
Step 3: Dial Into the Meeting
To join the meeting by calling in, dial the phone number provided on your screen. You will be prompted to enter the meeting ID and passcode, which can also be found on your screen. Once you have entered this information, you will be connected to the meeting.
Step 4: Mute Your Phone
When you are on a call-in connection, it is important to mute your phone to prevent any background noise from disrupting the meeting. To do this, press *6 on your phone’s keypad.
Step 5: End the Call
When you are finished with the meeting, simply hang up the phone to end the call-in connection. You can also leave the meeting by clicking on the “Leave” button in the top right corner of your screen.
Conclusion
Using the call-in option in WebEx is a convenient way for participants to join a meeting without having to use their computer or mobile device. By following these simple steps, you can easily enable and use the call-in option in your next WebEx meeting.
