How do I join a webinar?

    You have many options when it comes to joining webinars. You can join from the desktop app on your Windows or Mac computer, use a browser to join online, or even join on the go using the iOS or Android app.

    Depending on the webinar type and your operating system, GoTo Webinar will automatically launch you in the best and appropriate platform. Learn more and compare the different join methods.
    Note: Are you an attendee trying to prepare for your first webinar ahead of time? Run a system check to make sure your system is supported.

    Join using the link in the Confirmation email (a)

    Once you register for a webinar, you will receive a confirmation email with a unique join link. Open this link in any web browser to automatically join the webinar!
    Note: The Join link is marked as (a). Compare join methods and learn more about which of the 3 available join methods you will use.

    Join using the webinar ID (b)

    If you don't have the join link or are having trouble being automatically launched into session, you can join by manually entering the 9-digit webinar ID. This is also included in the confirmation email (shown as (b) above).
    • If you are on a computer, open a Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browser and go to https://www.goto.com/webinar/join. Enter the webinar ID and your email, then select Join.
    • If you are on a mobile device, make sure you have the iOS or Android app downloaded then join using the webinar ID.
