Robust in-meeting controls
With Dialpad, meeting moderators can mute participants on audio conferences, block screen sharing, and if you notice someone on your conference line that you don't recognize, you can remove them with a click—right from the handy menu in the call screen.
Virtual waiting rooms
Want to set up reservationless meetings that don't require PINs? You can still keep them secure with Dialpad's virtual waiting room feature, which lets you choose which guests to admit into the meeting.
Easily accessible calls
Invite clients and prospects to join your conference calls directly—and they don't need to download the app either. With Dialpad, you can send them an SMS text message with the link to join from a web browser!
👉 Did you know?
Dialpad automatically lets you know when call participants are trying to join your conference line, even if they haven't joined the meeting yet. (You can provide hold music while they wait).
Say goodbye to uninvited attendees
If you’ve ever had an online meeting or webinar with uninvited guests, then you know what a pain they can be. See how your conference call provider can counteract this with security features. Book a demo, or take a self-guided interactive tour of the app first!
So many people took off—without asking questions—to set up their own conference lines and meetings in their own groups without instructions, which says a lot for how the UI is set up.

The risks of unsecured conference calls
Video and audio hacking
There's no shortage of news about conference calls being hacked or "Zoom-bombed." (Learn more about the best Zoom alternatives.) There are surprisingly many people who search online for dial-in details to enter video and audio conferences. Best-case scenario, it’s a prank, but worst-case, someone’s out to steal your information. Video or web conferencing solutions like Dialpad can help prevent hackers by letting you lock the call and keep your details secure.
Data leaks and breaches
This is when sensitive information about your company or customers (such as phone numbers and passwords) is leaked to unauthorised people. It could be caused by a deliberate attack, or—more likely—a mistake by an employee. If your conference call service doesn’t use robust encryption, other people may be able to access the data transmitted during calls.
Client interception
Once your VoIP phone system has been hacked or breached, a fraudster would have the ability to intercept conference calls or messaging, or even to masquerade as an employee.
A better way to manage your conference call's privacy
With Dialpad, you get far more than just the basic functionalities of a conferencing system.
You or your admin can easily adjust privacy and security settings for the whole company, and control which team members access conference call features like PINs, recordings, and joining permissions.
