Using Dedicated Dial-In Numbers Follow

Overview

A Dedicated Dial-In Number is a phone number tied directly to a user’s Personal Audio Conference. By using this number, the host, as well as participants, will not be prompted to enter a conference ID number when joining, however, it will still prompt for a host key if the host has not joined yet.

This phone number can only be used for Personal Audio Conferences, and are currently only US-based numbers.
