    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

    Do I have to be the Zoom Admin to enable the integration?

    Yes. You’ll need to be a Zoom and Dialpad Admin to enable the integration. Individual users do not have to be Admins. 

    My user is unable to send out invites. What could be wrong?

    We check for a user's account based on email. Please confirm that their email address in Dialpad matches the one they have in Zoom.
