Issue/Question

• I scheduled a Zoom Meeting and need to add a dial-in phone number.
• I started a Zoom Meeting and need to add the ability for someone to call in using a phone.

Cause/Explanation

Some users will schedule a Zoom Meeting and configure it so that it includes the option to connect via video and computer audio only. All Zoom users have the ability to schedule/edit their meetings to include computer audio AND telephone option. This KB will include the steps for adding the telephone option to a scheduled/started Zoom meeting.
