If your Google Workspace admin allows it, you can call in for audio-only access from 15 minutes before the meeting starts until it ends. Someone in the meeting can let you in sooner.

You can be from a different organization or use a different Google Workspace edition than the event organizer. If you're in the organizer's directory, your name shows in the meeting. If not, it shows as “Private caller.”

• Participants should always verify the identity of callers.
• Anyone who calls in counts toward the maximum participant limit.
• Regular call charges apply.

Tip:When the first 5 participants join, you can hear a chime sound. After that, you get a silent notification for new participants.
