With this new feature, whenever a user starts a meeting they have the option to allow the audio bridge to call their extension directly. This means that users don\u2019t need to put up with the monotonous chore of searching for codes and manually dialing in each time. Instead, their desk phone (and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyswitch.com\/4-reachuc-features-boost-sales-strategy\/\">mobile phones connected with ReachUC<\/a>) will automatically ring them into the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skyswitch.com\/skyswitch-meetings-support-video-conferencing-appliance\/\">Related Blog Post: SkySwitch Meetings Now Support Video Conferencing Appliance<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if the user prefers to use the computer\u2019s microphone and speakers?
