What is the Instant Join app?
The Instant Join app is a browser-based version of GoToTraining that can be run entirely on the web. It does not require any downloads which is beneficial for users who are having trouble installing the desktop app or are in locked-down environments.
The method you use to join a session depends on your operating system, browser type, and your organizer settings. Use the feature comparison table to decide which join method is best for you. Make sure you are
running a supported system before joining.
Note: Attendees are launched in the new experience only if the organizer has enabled it.
