A meeting host can join or start a scheduled meeting via several methods including meeting online, using the visual meeting agenda, or by using a phone-based meeting. Your Zoom desktop client for macOS, Windows, or Linux, your Zoom mobile app for Android and iOS, your web browser, or a SIP device connected to the Zoom network can be used by the party hosting the meeting.
With your host key, you can initiate a meeting over the phone as the host.
