Join a meeting in the GoTo app

Learn how to join a session from your preferred platform; the desktop or mobile app or a Chrome/Edge-based browser.

Attention: You do not need to sign in or create an account as an attendee.

Join link

Join in GoTo through email
  1. Select the join link (e.g. https://meet.goto.com/<uniqueid>) from your meeting invitation.
    Tip: If you can't find this, you can contact the organizer for the link or try joining with the 9-digit session ID. See instructions below for how to join with the ID, based on your desired join method.
  2. Select one of the following options based on your desired device:
    • If you're on a computer, choose between Join in this browser and Download the app.
    • If you're on a mobile device, the GoTo mobile app opens or you're taken to the Apple or Google Play Store if the app isn't already downloaded.
  3. Select OK, I'm ready (if the session has started) or Join when meeting starts (if the organizer has not started the session yet).
    Note: If you see Join with password, then the organizer has added a password to the meeting that you need to enter before you can join. Check the meeting invitation for the password or contact your organizer directly. We do not store that information for security purposes.
What to do next: Feel free to customize your audio, camera, and performance preferences if desired (these can also be done in the camera preview before you join).

Browser

  1. From a supported web browser, go to https://app.goto.com.
  2. Enter the meeting ID, then select Join icon.
  3. Optional: If desired, customize your audio, camera, and performance preferences before joining the session. Remember, these settings can be changed during the session as well and you may need to grant your OS permissions for some of these features.
  4. Select OK, I'm ready (if the session has started) or Join when meeting starts (if the organizer has not started the session yet).
    Note: If you see Join with password, then the organizer added a password to the session that you need to enter before you can join. Check the meeting invitation for the password or contact your organizer directly. We do not store that information for security purposes.
If you run into trouble joining a session from the browser, make sure that you are on a supported browser (latest 3 versions of Chrome or Edge) and that you meet the system requirements. If it's still not working, it's likely an issue with insufficient internet speed. At that point, try joining from the desktop or mobile app.
What to do next: If you'd like, you can select > Invite People to invite others at any time during the session. Also, if your computer meets the system requirements, you can switch to the desktop app any time during the session for full feature access. Select More icon > Switch to desktop > Switch to desktop.

Desktop app

Before you begin: Download the desktop app.
If you do not have the join link or are having trouble being launched into the meeting, you can use the 9-digit meeting ID. This is the same as your access code listed in the invite.
  1. Open the GoTo desktop app.
  2. Select Join a session.
  3. Enter the meeting ID.
  4. Optional: If desired, customize your audio, camera, and performance preferences before joining the session. Remember, these settings can be changed during the session as well and you may need to grant your OS permissions for some of these features.
  5. Select OK, I'm ready (if the session has started) or Join when meeting starts (if the organizer has not started the session yet).
    Note: If you see Join with password, then the organizer added a password to the session that you need to enter before you can join. Check the meeting invitation for the password or contact your organizer directly. We do not store that information for security purposes.

Mobile app

Before you begin: Download the GoTo mobile app. If the app is already downloaded, make sure you're on the latest version.
  1. Open the GoTo mobile app.
  2. Select Join a session.
  3. Enter the meeting or session ID, and then select Join.
    Note: If you see Join with password, then the organizer added a password to the session that you need to enter before you can join. Check the meeting invitation for the password or contact your organizer directly. We do not store that information for security purposes.
