[roseline371274]

When you dial into a Teams meeting, you'll typically need two key pieces of information:

The Phone Number: This is the actual telephone number you will call. It connects you to the Microsoft audio conferencing service.
The Conference ID: After dialing the phone number, an automated prompt will ask turkey phone number list you to enter the Conference ID followed by the pound (#) key. This ID is unique to each meeting and acts as a key to join that specific session.
How to Join a Teams Meeting Using a Phone Number

Once you have the phone number and conference ID, joining the meeting is a straightforward process:

Dial the Phone Number: Use your phone to call the provided dial-in number.
Follow the Prompts: You will likely hear an automated greeting from Microsoft Audio Conferencing. It will instruct you to enter the Conference ID followed by the pound (#) key.
Enter the Conference ID: Carefully enter the numerical Conference ID from your invitation using your phone's keypad.
Press the Pound (#) Key: After entering the ID, press the pound key as instructed.
Join the Meeting: You should then be connected to the audio portion of the Teams meeting. You may be announced as joining the meeting.
Important Considerations and Tips for Dialing In:

Audio Quality: While dialing in provides a stable connection, the audio quality might be slightly lower compared to joining via the Teams application with a good internet connection and a high-quality headset.
Meeting Controls: When joining via phone, you will have limited meeting controls compared to joining through the app. You typically won't be able to see video, screen sharing, or participate in the chat. You can usually mute and unmute yourself using phone keypad commands (often *6 to toggle mute). The automated voice prompts will guide you on these commands.
