The Dialpad Meetings iOS app allows you to start and join meetings from anywhere, not just on a computer.
To begin, download and install the Dialpad Meetings app from the Apple App Store. Keep in mind that your iOS device must be running iOS 16 or above.
Let’s take a look!

Your Dialpad Meetings dashboard lets you quickly check meeting information, start or join a meeting, check your profile, and access app settings.
Start a meeting
To start a meeting from your iOS device:

- Toggle on the Microphone icon to join the meeting with your audio on

- Select Join Meeting
If you don’t want to send or receive any video (this is useful if you want to conserve data usage), select More Options > Audio Only. It will not turn on your camera during the meeting or display other Participants’ videos.
More Options also lets you opt-in to View screenshare only and request a dial-in to the meeting rather than needing to join via the app.

You'll also find a meeting timer on the top left corner.
Participants

In this tab, you’re able to mute others and view user profiles. Organizers can also remove other Participants using the drop-down menu.
