Can I use the app to join webinars?
If you’re running Android 5 or higher, you can install the GoTo Webinar app from the Google Play Store to join webinars as an attendee. If you're a GoTo Webinar organizer, you can log in and schedule a webinar but you won't be able to start it so we recommend making someone else a co-organizer or panelist.
We recommend using devices with a 1Ghz processor or higher for optimal performance.
How can I download the GoTo Webinar app?
You can download the GoTo Webinar app from the Google Play Store by signing in to your Google account that's linked with your Android device and searching for the GoTo Webinar app. If you don’t see an Install button, you may not be running Android 4.4 or higher (the minimum system requirement needed to install the GoTo Webinar app).

Why do I have to enable cookies to join? How do I enable cookies on my browser?
If your browser is set to disable cookies, you must first enable cookies before you can join a session. To enable cookies, go to your browser's settings and select Accept Cookies.
I prefer to dial in to the audio conference by telephone. Where can I find the Audio PIN?
You do not need an Audio PIN to dial in to the audio conference by telephone. To dial in to the audio conference by telephone, you can set your default audio to Phone by going to the Settings tab and selecting the Phone icon next to Default Audio. If your default audio is set to Phone and you join a meeting from an Android device, you will be automatically dialed in to the meeting.
You can see if you are connected to the meeting by VoIP or telephone in the Audio tab. If the organizer has provided dial-in phone numbers, you can switch to telephone by tapping Switch to Phone in the Audio Tab. In the Audio tab, you'll see a list of phone numbers associated with the session. If the organizer provides international country numbers, you can choose which country you want to dial into. Once you tap Dial, you will automatically dial in to the conference from your Phone app and will need to navigate back to the GoToMeeting app to return to the session.
Why am I disconnected from GoTo Webinar when I try dialing in from my phone?
If you’re using a device that doesn’t allow simultaneous data and voice sharing (CDMA), you must connect to the Internet from a WiFi network to dial in using the same device you use to join the session; otherwise, you’ll be disconnected from GoTo Webinar. If you aren’t connected to the Internet through WiFi, you must use your device’s mic and speakers (VoIP) or dial in with a different device to connect to audio.
