Start an UberConference in Dialpad

Dialpad gives you the ability to seamlessly start and join your meetings from anywhere. With UberConference Meetings, launch a free UberConference straight from their Dialpad desktop app. 

While an UberConference Free account is standard, Dialpad Administrators can upgrade their team members to a paid UberConference Business plan at any time.

Let's take a closer look at how to start a conference from Dialpad.

Start a Conference

Launch a conference straight from Dialpad by either selecting UberConference from your drop-down menu or selecting it from within a message field. 

Drop-Down Menu Options

• Select Start a Conference from the call button drop-down
• Selecting Start from your Dialpad profile drop-down 

Message Field Options

• Selecting the UberConference button in your group chat
• Entering the command /uberconference in a message field

With any of the examples above, the steps are the same:

1. Organizer selects Join or Start
2. New window launches with active conference screen
3. Join with your computer audio and/or video

Join a Conference (Organizer)

As the conference Organizer (i.e. Host), you can join a conference by either:

• Clicking on Join on the conference card invite within Dialpad
• Clicking on Start from your profile drop-down in Dialpad

Conference Card Invite

Start Conference (Profile Drop-Down)

Join a Conference (Participant)

Participants joining a conference invite from Dialpad will have a slightly different experience than those joining from outside of Dialpad. Let's take a look at each option, starting with joining from Dialpad. 

Join from Dialpad

1. Click Join on your conference card within your chat
2. New window launches with active conference screen
3. Click Join Conference after you've chosen your mic and video settings

If your Organizer requires a PIN, we'll enter it for you automatically. 

Join from outside Dialpad

If sending to a Participant outside of Dialpad, they'll receive a text message with the conference information in it, including:

• URL
• Dial-In
• PIN # (if required)
