Hi

I started an instant meeting and then tried to have call out but it is not working.

I started an instant meeting as mentioned [here](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/build-your-first-zoom-app/start-meeting) . it is working fine.

Then I tried to have a call out like mentioned [here](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/techniques/customize-call-out) but the method ` meetingService.dialOutUser(number, null, true);` is returning false. Documentation mentioned that

> Some accounts support **Dial-Out** feature.

could you please tell me which accounts are some account. Is this problem occuring because my account does not support dial out feature?

Thanks in advance.

Hi [schaulagain](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/schaulagain),

Thanks for the post. You may use the following method to check whether your account is able to use dial-out feature:[https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/MeetingService.html#isDialoutSupported--](https://zoom.github.io/zoom-sdk-android/us/zoom/sdk/MeetingService.html#isDialoutSupported--)

Please ensure you are passing the correct number in the correct format([https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/200942859-Using-Telephone-Call-Out-](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/200942859-Using-Telephone-Call-Out-)), in the Zoom client, we offer the country code option, but if you are using this method directly, please also include the country code.

Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks @carson.zoom for the information.

I use the method ` meetingService.isDialoutSupported();` to check whether the dialout is supported or not. This method returns false.

Could you please tell me the conditions needed for dailout support?

Hi [schaulagain](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/schaulagain),

Thanks for the reply. You can firstly try to double-check the following settings on your zoom web portal([zoom.us](http://zoom.us)), navigate to “Settings -\> Meeting -\> Schedule Meeting -\> Audio Type”, and make sure you check the first or the second option in order to use the dial-out feature.

If you have the correct setting and still not able to use the dial-out feature, you may contact our sales engineer at [https://zoom.us/contactsales](https://zoom.us/contactsales) to enable this feature for you.

Hope this helps! Thanks!
