Skype for Business - Let the Skype for Business meeting call you

The "Call me at" feature in Skype for Business provides a way for users to join the audio portion of a conference by using a cell phone or land line.

The first time you attempt to join a meeting through Skype for Business, you'll see the Join Meeting Audio dialog box:
