Using computer audio and phone audio for meetings and webinars | Forum

Computer audio (VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol)

You will need a set of built-in, attached, or wireless speakers and microphone to use computer audio for your meetings and webinars. A headset is recommended. Computer audio or VoIP is recommended when you have a good internet connection. If your internet connection is weak, phone audio is a good alternative.


To use computer audio, select  Computer audio when you start or join an online meeting or webinar.


  Learn how to enable video and microphone.

Note
Attendees of a webinar are muted by default, and can only listen to the presenter. In an online meeting, all participants can transmit and receive voice.

Phone audio

If you have poor internet connectivity, you can join meetings and webinars through your phone using dial-in numbers. Presenters in the paid edition can also purchase toll-free numbers to let participants join sessions without incurring charges.

Note
Phone audio is not available for users in the Free and Standard editions of Zoho Meeting. Take a free trial of the Pro edition with all features.

How to connect to audio using your phone

  1. Enter your meeting or webinar window.
  2. Select the phone option for audio transmission. A window will display the dial-in number (and the toll-free number, if purchased) for your country, an access code for your session, and a PIN. 
  3. Enter the dial-in (or toll-free) number on your phone. You can omit the initial code if you're making a call within the country. For example, if you are entering the dial-in number for Argentina while you are in Argentina, you need not enter the code ’54’.
  4. Enter the access code and press #.
  5. Enter the PIN (optional) and press #.

I think it’s super handy that we can use phone audio when our internet is acting up. Also, for anyone looking for flexibility, SIP Softphone apps on iOS and Android are a game-changer. They let you make calls through the internet, which is awesome if you're on the go!

 I’ve started using SIP softphone apps on my iPhone (they’re available for Android too), which lets me dial in via phone while still keeping the flexibility of a VoIP-like system. You can get them right from the App Store or Play Store—super handy! I think it’s cool that Zoho has options like toll-free numbers, but for folks still testing things out on the free plan, maybe SIP softphones are worth checking out. They’re easy to set up, and you can manage calls right from your phone. Also, Zoho’s home page has all those helpful guides if anyone’s still curious about how to connect the audio. I’ll definitely be sticking around this forum to learn more.
