iOS App for Dialpad Meetings

The Dialpad Meetings iOS app allows you to start and join meetings from anywhere, not just on a computer.

To begin, download and install the Dialpad Meetings app from the Apple App Store. Keep in mind that your iOS device must be running iOS 16 or above.

Let’s take a look!

Your Dialpad Meetings dashboard lets you quickly check meeting information, start or join a meeting, check your profile, and access app settings.

Meeting details

Dialpad Meetings displays the speaker on-screen, and you’ll see their video if the speaker’s camera is on. Otherwise, you’ll just see their profile picture and name. Your video appears in the top-right corner if turned on, and there’s an icon to switch between front-facing and rear-facing cameras.

You'll also find a meeting timer on the top left corner. 

Participants
