How do I install and run the GoTo Meeting Connection Wizard? (Windows)

The GoTo Meeting Connection Wizard tests and determines the ideal connection settings that GoTo Meeting can make within your network. After running the wizard, you can store your optional connection settings on your Windows computer and use those settings in the future to connect to sessions.

Install and run an initial test

The Connection Wizard is available on Windows computers only. If you are on a Mac, see How do I test my network with GoTo Network Test?. This feature is only available on paid subscription plans. You can also visit our Get Ready page to make sure you are prepared for your first meeting.
  1. Download the GoTo Meeting Connection Wizard.
  2. Open the G2MConnectionWizard.exe file and run the software when prompted.

    Note: Users should use Advanced Mode only under guidance from a GoTo representative.

    Result: GoTo Meeting's home page should launch in your default browser. If you're not redirected to www.gotomeeting.com, open your browser and go to that page.

  4. Select OK to continue.

    Result: The Connection Wizard will determine the best connection setting for your computer when connecting to GoTo Meeting. This process may take a few minutes to complete.
