How do I add a password to my meeting? (Classic)

    Add a password to your meeting for additional privacy. Once password-protected, attendees will need to enter the password of your choosing to join the meeting.

    Remember that you must send the password to you attendees or they won't be able to enter the meeting. For security reasons, GoToMeeting does not send the password for you.
    Important: Only local recording is available for password-protected meetings!

    Add a password from the web

    Attention: We have a new GoTo app! This article covers the classic GoToMeeting experience. View How do I add a password to my meeting? for the new GoTo.
    1. Schedule a new meeting or edit an existing one.
    2. In the More tab, check the "Require a meeting password" box.
    3. Click Save.

      Note: The default password is ##meetingPassword. This can be changed in the meeting invite you send to attendees and when you start the meeting.

    4. Later when you start the meeting, you will be prompted to enter the meeting password that you sent to attendees. Once you enter it and click Join the Meeting, your meeting will launch!

      Note: Make sure the password matches what you added in the meeting invite. If you did not send the password to attendees beforehand, please do so via email, chat, etc. so they can join the meeting.

    1. Schedule a new meeting or edit an existing one.
