Connect to a Microsoft Teams meeting by calling in. Either dial in as a participant, or as the conference call leader. Both leaders and participants can use dual-tone multiple-frequency (DTMF) commands to manage the conferencing experience.
Note: In Teams, conference call leaders are referred to as presenters. The meeting organizer is automatically joined as the leader.
Join a meeting by phone audio
In Microsoft Teams, the Call me feature gives users a way to join the audio portion of a meeting by phone. This is handy in scenarios when using a computer for audio might not be possible. Users get the audio portion of the meeting through their cell phone or land line and the content portion of the meeting—such as when another meeting participant shares their screen or plays a video—through their computer.

Call in to a Teams meeting
For most Teams meetings, you can join by dialing the conference call number. As soon as you’re connected to the call, you can mute your line or hear a list of people on the call by using DTMF commands.
The following table shows the typical DTMF commands available to participants during a conference call:
|

Privately play a description of the available DTMF commands. |
|

Privately play the name of each participant in the conference. |
