Schedule a meeting with InRoom Link
If InRoom Link for video conference endpoint support is enabled for an account, organizers will see the instructions for video conference room systems in the invites generated for their meetings.
Video conference room systems cannot join meetings that are
password protected. If a meeting was scheduled before InRoom Link was enabled, the generated meeting invite will not include the join instructions for the video-conferencing room or system. You can generate a new invite for an existing meeting in order to get the InRoom Link join information.
- Log in at https://global.GoTo Meeting.com.
- From My Meetings, locate the desired meeting and then select the Invite icon.
- Select the join method(s) you want to offer attendees:
- Select Send the invites as is to enable any invitee to use InRoom Link to attend the meeting

Set up video conferencing system for InRoom Link
If your system has not been set up to make external calls (calls outside your company intranet) that are required for GoTo Meeting, you will need to configure your system. However, if you already have video conference systems installed, you may not need to do any additional configuration.
Diagnose InRoom Link issues
Use Poly RealPresence Desktop (a virtual video conference room application) and Wireshark (a network diagnostics tool) to identify where connections are failing.
Before you begin: Verify your system is powered on, connected to the right network, set up per manufacturer’s instructions, and that any control devices are also on and properly connected.
Download and install the following tools to a computer or laptop with network access to your video-conference system.
- Wireshark — A free network protocol analyzer that tracks and records network packets. The GoTo Meeting support team uses Wireshark to identify join problems on conference room systems. To download the latest version, go to the Wireshark site.

FAQs
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why is there audio echo or feedback? | Try disconnecting all but one device in a conference room(e.g., if there are two attendees joined from their laptops in the conference room in addition to the system attendee, disconnect the audio of the system attendee and one of the laptops). |
| Why is the call disconnecting or blocking meeting content (usually inbound media)? | Verify the system configuration is correct. Some firewalls have very low idle timeouts. Remove the configuration and connect directly to InRoom Link using the join string in the meeting invite as there may be misconfigured outbound proxies (or gatekeeper). Do not configure the device to use the InRoom Link server address as the default device proxy or gatekeeper. |
| Why can't I join from a Sony PCSA-MCG80? | When entering your join string (GoTo Meeting video conferencing server##meeting ID string), remove one of the # character (e.g., 999.999.999.999#111222333) and rejoin the session. |
| Why can't I establish a call? | Ensure that you have configured your SIP device with the TCP Transport Protocol. |
| Why is my video quality poor? | Ensure that the system is configured with an appropriate call rate (1024 or higher). If you have access to the system's administration page, monitor the statistics during a call. |
| How can I improve my join experience? | There a couple ways you can improve your join experience:
