    Dialpad Meetings for Android allows users to start and join meetings from their Android devices. The app can be downloaded and installed from the provided link. The dashboard provides access to meeting information, starting or joining meetings, and app settings. Users can start a meeting with video or audio options and invite participants during a live meeting. To join a meeting, users need to enter the meeting URL and set audio and camera permissions.

    Once you’ve set your preferences, select Join With Video.

    If you don’t want to send or receive any video (perhaps in order to conserve data usage) select More Options Audio Only. It will then not turn on your camera during the meeting, or display the other Participants’ videos.

    More Options also lets you opt-in to viewing a screen share only and request a dial-in to the meeting rather than needing to join via the app.

    Invite Participants During Meeting

    Participants are able to join using the meeting's URL, but if you are the organizer, you can also navigate to the More tab and select Invite Others.
