  • Updated

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.

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.Screenshot_20220425-120413.png

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.
