How do I join an online Skype meeting at MITRE?
An online meeting may consist of a data sharing portion and an audio portion. If you are joining the data sharing portion separate from the audio portion, it is recommended that you join the data sharing portion of the meeting first then join the audio portion.

- Select your audio option and click OK.
| I Want to: | Select: |
|---|---|
| Dial in with my phone | Do not join audio |
| Use my computer with a headset | Skype for Business (full audio and video experience) |
| Have Skype for Business call me to automatically connect | Call me at |
| Use this same audio option for future meetings | Don’t show this again |
- The Skype for Business Conference window opens and you are placed in the meeting.
| I Want to: | Action: |
|---|---|
| Dial in with my phone | Go to Step 2 |
