> (every conference gets a simple phone number, no stupid 9-digit code plus pin plus participant id)

in our case, UC constantly failed hard to properly encode an essentially static excel sheet over screen share - jpeg artifacts the size of basketballs that never went away, even when given infinite time to "catch up". zoom has zero issues with screen share, but randomly drops calls, and yeah the phone + 9 digit id + participant id feels intentionally user-hostile (especially having to repeat that bs again after a dropped call).



That's weird about Zoom. We have whomever is scheduling the meeting paste their personal meeting ID into the meeting invite. It's one click for anyone joining, including the host.


Maybe if you literally call in to the conference? Not sure why you’d ever want to do that, but...


You can have zoom call you, making the whole “too many numbers” thing irrelevant.


I think your plan has to support the outbound calling, our Corp issued plans do but the random 3rd zoom bridge I join doesn’t always have the call me option. It may be free tier vs paid; but has bit me right before trying to jump on and having to dial in manually.
