    This prompt is related to the extra security measure that if host wishes to start a meeting with his phone, he must register his phone number in Audio Options of his Webex site.


    If you wish to turn off the message, you can disable both security options in Webex site admin for PMR and scheduled meetings:

    • Require hosts to validate their phone number that is saved in their preferences when starting a Personal Room meeting from their phones

    • Require hosts to validate their phone number that is saved in their preferences when starting a meeting from their phones


    After those options are disabled, all the phone users will hear the regular join meeting prompt: If you're the host, enter your host PIN followed by #. If you're not the host, press #.
