Dial-In
The Dial-in option allows meeting participants to join via a phonecall. This is particularly useful if they have internet issues, are traveling, or cannot use video for other reasons.
Per room configuration
You can configure the dial-in feature for individual rooms. Use the POST /meetings request to create the new room. During the creation request, add the following fields to the request’s body:
Multiple fields can be specified in the same request, including things like hostRoomUrl
Example response:
Getting details of the dial-in access codes
List of Dial-in phone numbers from different countries that participants can call to join the meeting
Dial-in access code
The above request will work for both a specific meetingId
, or all active meetings. The response will be an array of meetings and the meetings will have the Dial-in details, but only if they were created with Dial-in enabled.
Creating callable links
The phone number and room code can be combined and presented as a link on your website or HTML email, allowing users to 'click' the link and dial into the room without having to manually enter the code.
To do so, create an anchor element with the href
set to "tel:<phone number>,<room code>"
like so:
<a href="tel:111-867-5309,1234567890">Click here</a>
Here's how that renders on this website: Click here
Using webhooks
Webhook events can be used to track dial-in participants. When a dialed-in participant joins or leaves the meeting, Whereby sends a webhook event with details:
Participant’s phone number
Participant’s date and time of joining
Participant’s date and time of leaving the room
Additional information
The Dial-in feature currently provides voice messages to participants in English only.
The Dial-in feature is not compatible with our Breakout Groups feature.
