Dialpad Meetings for Android allows Android Users to start and join meetings from anywhere, not just on a computer.
Let’s take a look at the Dialpad Meetings app for Android devices.
Download the App
To begin, download and install the Dialpad Meetings app from the Google Play Store.
View Your Dashboard
Dialpad Meetings' dashboard allows you to quickly check meeting information, start a meeting, join a meeting, and access app settings.
To launch the slide-out menu, select your profile picture in the top-left corner of the app.
Start a Meeting
To start a Dialpad Meeting, select Start Meeting.
Next, decide if you’d like to join with video, or only audio.
Toggle the Microphone icon for audio and the Camera icon for video.
Once you’ve set your preferences, select Join With Video.
If you don’t want to send or receive any video (perhaps in order to conserve data usage) select More Options > Audio Only. It will then not turn on your camera during the meeting, or display the other Participants’ videos.
More Options also lets you opt-in to viewing a screen share only and request a dial-in to the meeting rather than needing to join via the app.
Invite Participants During Meeting
Participants are able to join using the meeting's URL, but if you are the organizer, you can also navigate to the More tab and select Invite Others.
Dialpad Meetings displays a list of recent, frequent, and personal contacts to invite.
Join a Meeting
To join a meeting, select Enter Meeting URL from the dashboard. Input the appropriate meeting URL and select the Enter button.
Toggle the Microphone icon for audio and the Camera icon for video. Once you’ve determined what to toggle on/off, select Join With Video.
When using the Dialpad Meetings mobile app, you can watch up to 5 other participants’ video streams at once! Easily see who is speaking by the purple outline around their video feed.
Easily switch back and forth between sharing your screen and viewing the other people in the meeting.
