Dialing out lets a host or co-host call a phone number directly into the room, so someone without a device or a link can still join by phone. Dial-out entries are added from the Participants tab in the Side Panel. You can call a number right away, or register it to call later. Either way, the number shows up as a row in the participant list, and its status updates as the call rings, connects, or ends.

Before you start

Dial-out only appears when the room supports it.
Dial-in must be enabled for the room. If dial-in isn’t turned on, the dial-out option is hidden from the Participants tab entirely. Contact sales@coresee.com to get the option on your account.

How to dial out

Add the number, then choose whether to call it immediately or save it for later.
1

Open the Side Panel and go to the Participants tab.

2

Open the 'Call Participants' section to add phone numbers to your room.

3

Enter a nickname for the entry, pick the country code, and type the phone number.

An extension field is optional.
4

Use the + button to add more rows if you're dialing several numbers at once.

Managing an active call

Once a number is in the participant list, calling or ending the call is a single click away — no need to re-enter the number.
1

Find the dial-out entry in the participant list. Absent entries show a phone icon to call them.

2

Click the phone icon to place the call. The row updates to RINGING, then UP once the call connects.

3

To end the call, click the hang-up icon on the same row at any time.

Common Scenarios

Someone needs to join by phone, right now

Add their number in the Dial-out pane and use Call Now. The row will show RINGING until they pick up.

Setting up a call for later in the session

Use Call Later to register the number ahead of time. It sits in the participant list as absent — call it with a single click whenever you’re ready, without re-typing anything.

The call went unanswered

The row settles to a callable state once the call goes down. Click the phone icon on that row again to redial — there’s no need to re-enter the number.

You're a guest co-host and need to place a call

You can call or hang up on any number already in the participant list, but you can’t add a brand-new number yourself. Ask the host or a full co-host to add it first — after that, you can manage the call.
