Audio Conferencing with Zoom

March 18, 2020 /

1. When you schedule a meeting in Zoom (through your browser or through the Zoom client), the default option is to use “Telephone and Computer Audio”. This allows participants to connect to the audio stream either way. If you want to force everyone to connect via phone set the Audio option to “Telephone”. Then proceed to start the meeting as you normally would. Note this only affects the audio portion of the Zoom meeting. You can, if you wish, still use the screen sharing, video and other Zoom features. More information on getting started with Zoom
