Dialing out from a Skype for Business

During a ongoing meeting as the meeting organizer, you can dial out using the Skype for Business app to let other people join the same meeting using their phone. it's required that you dial the full number, including the +country/region code. To get dial-out to work:

• You can dial-out only if you join a meeting using a Skype for Business app.
  

• You as the meeting organizer have been enabled for audio conferencing.
  

In order to add other participants via dial-out to the meetings of your organization, at least one authenticated user from the same organization as the organizer (your organization) is required to be present in the meeting in order to allow adding other participants via dial-out.

  Step 1:  In the invite meeting, use the  Invite More People  option to dial out to a phone number.

Step 2:  Enter +[country code][area code][7 digit of the phone number]. For example, to call Jen's office phone number (949-872-2612), you would have to input +19498722612 in the box.
