Same time next week?

Do you have regular virtual meetings with the same people at the same time every week? Dialpad lets you set up conference calls to start at the same time on a recurring basis. You can choose to have the conference call repeat on a weekly basis, every other week, or in a monthly recurrence pattern, with no end date.

Video conferencing features that make for more productive meetings

Robust call controls

Keep your meetings secure and prevent unwanted guests with a range of host controls. Set up a waiting room (with music), add a PIN code, and lock the meeting once everyone’s in. Hosts also have the ability to mute everyone, limit screen sharing, and remove participants completely.

Locking a video conference in Dialpad's using the built-in security controls.

Our people don’t want to worry about communication issues. It's our job to remove friction—to bridge IT and technology gaps—so employees can focus on doing great work for our clients.

How to schedule recurring calls in Dialpad

It’s easy to schedule recurring conference calls with Dialpad with one of these options:

  • From your Dialpad Ai Meetings dashboard, select My Conferences > Plus(+)

  • Select Recurring, and choose a pattern

  • Set the duration and name the series, then add invitees

  • Add to your calendar

  • Choose if you want to call participants when it’s time.

  • Check the “Recurring” checkbox in your calendar

  • Choose how often you want the meetings

  • Set the duration and invite participants.

Common meeting types you'll come across

One-off meetings

If you don’t want to commit to a regular pattern, you can schedule a single meeting for a specific date and time.

Recurring meetings

These are ideal for weekly team meetings, daily huddles, or regular catch-ups with remote employees. Each meeting uses the same meeting ID and settings.

Instant meetings

You might decide to have an off-the-cuff meeting because something urgent came up (say you work at a help desk and a customer has an important question). An unscheduled meeting has no fixed time—you can have a one-click meeting easily from Dialpad. Just click the video camera icon.

Meeting pages/personal meeting rooms

As well as the meeting options above, you can create your own personalised meeting page with your name as the meeting ID. It’s like a recurring meeting, but you’ll have a personal or branded URL.

Why schedule recurring conference calls?

Scheduling recurring conference calls not only helps to save you admin time and the hassle of having to create separate meeting invitations, it also lets you block off times on busy participants' calendars.

Everyone is aware of the pattern of meetings, so there’s no excuse for being late! Dialpad can has a dial-out option that automatically calls any participants who haven't joined yet at the appointed time!

Dialpad Ai Meetings has helped us build stronger 1:1 client relationships. It removes the friction of traditional conference calling—all you need is a dial-in number or URL to join.
