How to join by phone

Having audio issues inside the Live meeting room

If you are having connectivity issues or the audio is choppy during your interview you can always try to join by phone.

Click on the phone icon   to display the available numbers and follow the instructions. 

All you have to do is dial the number, enter the unique access code and switch audio to your phone. 

You must only use one audio source to prevent echo.

It is essential to click switch audio to phone once you have joined by phone. Otherwise, you will have audio distortion and echo.
