You may, however, add a PIN as a requirement for participants to join your meetings. To enable this, head to your Dialpad Meetings settings

1. Navigate to Dial-in Number
2. Select the toggle to enable a PIN 
3. Select Confirm 

 Dialpad Meetings will then display your Organizer and Participant PINs, and you can change them as needed. 

Audio greeting

Choose Dialpad Meetings' default "Joining meeting now" or a custom greeting to play for participants before they join your meeting.

If you'd like a custom audio greeting 

1. Select Upload audio file 
2. Select the file from your device 

You'll need to be a Dialpad Meetings Business user to customize your greeting, and team members must first have custom hold music enabled by their Admin before making any changes.

Hold music

Choose hold music to play for participants before the meeting begins. Users can choose among a variety of sounds, including Dialpad Meetings' popular "I'm On Hold" track.

Dialpad Meetings will accept custom hold music, too. 

1. Select Upload audio file button 
2. Select the file from your device. 

You'll need a Dialpad Meetings Business license to customize your hold music, and team members must first have custom hold music enabled by their Admin before making any changes.

Call recording greeting

Choose to audibly inform participants when a meeting is being recorded. When enabled, all participants will hear 'This meeting is being recorded' when recording is turned on. 

Don't forget to pay attention to your local legislation. If the audible call recording greeting is turned off and your state requires notification, you must verbally inform the meeting participants. 

Auto-lock & waiting room

Automatically lock a meeting after a certain amount of time passes from the start time and after any unlocks. Once a meeting is locked, Users who attempt to join your meeting will be sent to your waiting room, where they will wait until you permit them to join your meeting room. 

Set a meeting to lock after 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 1 hour.

Your hold music will play when anyone is in your waiting room. 

Meeting countdown timer

Set a meeting timer for the Organizer and all Participants to see; an alert plays at the end of the countdown.

Keep in mind that, while the Organizer needs a Dialpad Meetings Business license, any Participant in their conference may view, set, and stop a meeting timer.

Open meetings in

Choose between automatically launching the Dialpad Meetings desktop app, or within the Dialpad App.

Head to your Dialpad Meetings settings

1. Navigate to Always open meetings in section. 
2. Select the drop-down menu
3. Select between Browser, Dialpad Meetings - Desktop App or Dialpad - Desktop App 

Do note that some companies face compliance issues regarding browsers and cannot install third-party software like Google Chrome. The desktop hand-off feature allows the user to launch Dialpad Meetings from the desktop app, bypassing the browser.

• Auto-expand chat on the first message: If turned on, the chat side-bar will automatically expand into view upon receiving the first message
• Allow capture of custom action items: If turned on, you (the Organizer) and Participants will be able to capture custom action items during your conferences
