Switch Audio Modes in Session

You can switch the audio mode you use to connect to the session while the session is in progress (i.e., switch from Computer/Internet mode to Phone mode or vice versa). This can be useful if you are having issues connecting with your current method.

Switch modes using the desktop app

  1. At the top of the Control Panel, expand the Audio tab.
  2. Use the radio buttons to select either Computer audio or Phone call or No audio. If you do not see either the Computer audio or Phone call options, then it's possible that the organizer disabled the option for this session. If they used custom audio information, then you will see specific instructions from the organizer instead of the built-in audio options.
    • If you selected Computer audio, use the drop-down menus to select which audio devices to use for your mic and speakers.
    • If you selected Phone call, use a telephone to dial in to the audio and enter the access code and Audio PIN when prompted. Use the drop-down menu to see phone numbers for additional countries.
    • If you selected Call me, enter your phone number and receive a phone call from GoToMeeting. Use the drop-down menu to change between U.S. and Canadian phone numbers.
    • If you selected No audio, you won't be able to hear or talk to other participants.
