Each Zoom login has two Personal Audio Conferencing accounts included. Personal Audio Conferencing is a voice only service that you and your meeting participants can dial directly into without needing to start a meeting or use a computer. To find your Personal Audio Conferencing account information, once you are logged in, click the Personal Audio Conferencing link on the left and your audio conferencing settings will appear. If you click the Start Conference button, you will see a call control website where you can add, remove, mute, lock and end the conference.
