Admins can control meeting settings for an entire team. It takes just a few clicks to customize the Dialpad Meetings experience on behalf of all team members, and there are some great options that let each user choose exactly how they want to take advantage of Dialpad Meetings' features.
Let's take a look at what team settings you can control and customize in Dialpad Meetings.
Dialpad Meetings Team Menu
To get started, open the Team menu from the Dialpad Meetings dashboard and navigate to the Team Settings section.
Here, you have a list of options to enable, disable, or customize. Dialpad Meetings will transfer any modifications to team members, and some options may require them to take additional action in order to complete the setup.
Require Meeting PIN Numbers
Meeting PIN numbers are not required on Dialpad Meetings, but Admins can enable them for all meetings, or let team members choose to opt-in.
Dialpad Meetings offers 3 unique options for PIN settings:
- Allow team members to set: Users will decide whether or not a meeting PIN number is required
- Require PIN for all meetings: Users will be required to have a meeting PIN number
- Don't require PIN for all meetings: Users will not be required to have a meeting PIN number
Require Organizer to Start Call
Admins can set all calls to start when the organizer joins, or as soon as multiple participants are present. Team members can set this for their own accounts if the Admin allows it.
