While connected to either a cellular or WiFi network, the Amazon Chime mobile app automatically uses your device's network connection to receive calls. 

If your Amazon Chime administrator enables auto-calling for a meeting, you hear a ring notification when the meeting starts. The **Answer** control also appears on your device's screen. The **Answer** control also displays when someone calls you for an instant meeting.

The following sets of steps explain different ways to join a meeting using auto-call.

**To join an auto-call meeting**

1. When the meeting calls, the **Join meeting** page appears and displays a set of meeting options. Choose **Answer**.

   —OR—

   Choose one of the options, such as **Mute**, and then choose **Answer**.
**Note**  
If you join a hosted meeting, you can't use the **Answer** control's options until the host joins.

1. If you miss the ring notification, or you accidentally decline the call, the **Meetings** page lists the current meeting in progress. You are also shown any meetings scheduled to start within the next 30 minutes. Choose a meeting to join it.
