Procedure

You can join a Fuze meeting by phone using one of these options:

  • Fuze calls you

When joining an open or large meeting by phone, you are initially placed into a waiting room.

Host PIN

The Host Pin is a 4-digit numeric PIN that allows you to identify yourself as the meeting host. If you are the host of a meeting and you dial in instead of joining from Fuze Desktop, Fuze Web, or Fuze Mobile, you must enter this PIN to start the meeting. No one else can join the meeting until you enter the PIN.

Your Host Pin can be found in the Fuze Desktop application by clicking on the profile menu and selecting Settings Meetings.
