How do I start a scheduled session?

After organizers create a webinar, they can start it at anytime (or multiple times such as for practice), including before or after its scheduled start time (up to 30 days after the scheduled start date for one-time meetings which expire at that point).

Notice: Seeing something different? You may be on joining from our classic platform. This article addresses the new GoTo app experience. View How do I start a webinar? (Classic) for the steps you need.

Desktop app or web

Sign in to the GoTo web or desktop app.

Note: If you are using a Linux or Google Chrome device, you will need to use the web browser to host your session as those systems are not compatible with our desktop app. When using the web option, use a Google Chrome or Edge brower.
From Webinars > Upcoming, select the session you want to start.
Select Start this webinar.

Mobile app

Before you begin: Download the GoTo mobile app. If the app is already downloaded, make sure you're on the latest version. This app is supported on iPad's.

Open the GoTo mobile app on your device.
Select Webinars.
From Upcoming, find the desired session and then select Start > Start session.

Tip: You can select the session to see more details including the participants (broken out by role), and any engagement tools created for the session (uploaded videos, surveys, polls, etc.). If needed, you can also view these details for previous sessions from the Webinars > Past tab.
When ready, select the Broadcast icon and then Start Broadcast to allow attendees in and officially begin your session.

What to do next: For a list of features available to you when hosting sessions on the mobile app, see Feature comparison by join method.
