GoTo Meeting in the GoTo App

Enable and get started with the new GoTo Meeting in the GoTo app!

1What is the GoTo app?

The GoTo app is an always-on collaboration workplace with one point of access for all communication needs, including messaging, meetings, voice, trainings, webinars, and larger events. We are developing the full-fledged app, but you can use GoTo Meeting and join GoTo Training sessions during this time! Depending on the products you have, you will see the tabs available in the left toolbar in the GoTo desktop app or browser.

After you enable the new GoTo, you'll get access to our new app and features (such as breakouts), be able to provide feedback on your experience, and stay up-to-date as new collaboration solutions get added.
