Has anyone ever joined a zoom meeting from an airplane? I won’t need to speak but need to listen and I cannot change my flight. Thanks!

Oooh somebody needs to build an app for that! Fill out the zoom details ahead of the call and a robot dials into the call under your name.

They’ll be on mute so why does it matter if they get kicked off once or twice. Hop right back in

Just ask them to record the meeting and take your flight

I don’t get it - if you don’t need to participate, why can’t you listen to a recording or read meeting minutes afterward?

Yes call won’t be recorded and I need to take minutes as well as be up to date on what happens at the meeting

Zoom? No. Skype/Teams? Yes.

I would dial in to the zoom call via skype if there's a dial in option

I have done it previously on a flight from Australia to US, and on couple occasions on my way back from EU. It was WebEx though. It worked fine.
