Create a meeting
Organizers can create meetings at any time. You can create a one-time meeting, with or without breakout room capability, or a personal meeting room if you plan on reusing the session link.
A few things to note:
- Only one session can be hosted by an organizer at a time. If you are actively hosting a meeting and need to leave early to participate in someone else's, you can promote any attendee in your current session (that's on your same account) to the organizer role so they can continue running the meeting without you present.
- If you want to use breakout rooms, all participants will need to join from the web or GoTo desktop app and be connected to audio via computer mode (VoIP). You can have up to 50 rooms at a time. This feature is not available for users on the GoTo Connect Free plan.
- If your meeting runs over the scheduled time, it will continue running without disruption until you actually end or leave it.
- The current time limit for running a successful meeting is 8 hours, this cannot be changed. If you're on a GoTo Connect Free account, your meeting is limited to 40 minutes. A timer will be displayed during your session.
Desktop or web app
Create a meeting
- Optional: If desired, you can add the session to your calendar from the details page by selecting
and then the calendar app you use. A new window will appear with your calendar that you can then download as an .ICS file and import to your desired calendar.
Results: The new meeting will be available immediately in your Upcoming or Rooms tab to view at any time. Search for and select the desired session for more details and additional options, such as the ability to add the session to your calendar, download or copy the invite, etc. You can filter by a date range as needed to narrow down the results.
What to do next: Customize your session as desired and then
invite others to join. If needed, you can cancel a session ahead of time by opening the session details and then selecting
to confirm. Be sure to contact any previously invited attendees and notify them of the change. If you enabled breakout rooms, see
Run breakout rooms during a session to prepare for your session.
Create a personal meeting room
A personal meeting room allows you to quickly launch a session with the same meeting URL and ID.
A personal meeting room is automatically created for every user. Depending on how your admin set up your account, you may have been assigned a randomly generated URL or can create a custom one.
What to do next: You can start meetings instantly using your personal meeting room.
