You simply say “Alexa, join my Zoom meeting.” No setup is required.Īlexa will ask for the meeting ID and passcode. With Zoom on Echo Show 8, customers can now have great meetings experiences on a dedicated device while simultaneously using their laptop for other work. There are also inherent problems such as simultaneously using a computer as a screen for the meeting and a device to draft notes. There can be technical challenges connecting to a meeting or unreliable video and audio. Virtual meetings and classes became a part of daily life and brought a set of challenges with it. If you’ve joined the meeting before the host, you might be shown a holding screen until they join and start the meeting.The current pandemic, and its social-distancing recommendations, created a new situation for customers who now need to work or study more from home. Assuming you’re joining a UK call with a UK phone number, you will be charged your normal call rate with no extra fees. Calling into a meeting is simple: just dial the number you were given and enter the Meeting ID when prompted. If you can join by dialling in, the organiser will have sent you the Meeting ID and number to call when they invited you. Dialling in with mobile should be saved as a last resort, especially as some meetings may not support it. This makes it a better experience for everyone and will allow you to view any resources being shared in the call, such as a presentation.

It’s always best to try and join a meeting online using the Zoom app on your computer or smartphone/tablet if possible. You can’t join in browser on tablets or smartphones.
