Account owners and admins can choose if they want to require a passcode for participants joining by phone for their meetings. The passcode is found in the invitation email, listed below the dial-in numbers and meeting ID. For meetings with an alphanumeric passcode, a numeric version will be generated. This security option ensures confidentiality and allows only invited participants to access the meeting. If this setting is enabled, participants joining by phone will need to enter a passcode if the meeting requires a passcode.

If this setting is disabled, users can join by phone without needing to enter a passcode.
