Enabling Toll Call in zoom App
Overview
Zoom clients offer toll numbers for participants to dial into meetings with. If Toll Call is enabled, participants can also dial into meetings with email invitations. Participants will not be able to dial-in to meetings via telephone if this setting is disabled, even if Audio type meeting is selected as Telephone.
In order for participants to be able to dial-in with a toll-free number, the meeting host must be licensed.
