Can I join a video meeting with only speakers and no microphone?
Pretty much the title. I have some users that need to join RC meetings, but they’re on desktops that only have speakers and no microphones. They just need to listen to the meetings, it’s sort of a group update kind of thing, but it looks like RC won’t let them join their speakers if they don’t have a mic. Is there any way to enable this apart from them having to dial in?

Unfortunately, it requires both a microphone and speakers to connect via computer audio. If the desktop lacks a microphone, the option to join audio will not be available.
For users who only need to listen, dialing in using a phone is the best alternative. They can call the meeting’s dial-in number provided in the invitation to listen to the updates without needing a microphone.
I downloaded and tested it- pic below. The instructions say to also download an app on your phone - but it’s not necessary for what you are trying to do and I didn’t download anything on my phone when I did the test.

This is a great idea, I didn’t think of anything like this. Thanks for the suggestion!
