HOW TO JOIN A MEETING

You don’t need to purchase an account to attend GoToMeeting sessions. After you download the free GoToMeeting app, there are a couple of easy ways to join a meeting: 

• Tap a link in an invitation email and then follow the prompts.

• Tap the GoToMeeting app icon and select the meeting you want to join or enter a meeting ID.


HOW TO HOST A MEETING
Use your GoToMeeting account username and password to log in.

• Tap Meet Now to start an ad-hoc meeting. Or…
• Tap a previously scheduled meeting to start it. (Meetings can be scheduled from your desktop as well as your iPhone or iPad.)

• Pass presenter controls to anyone in the meeting or present content from your iPad. Find the content you want to share and press Play.

AUDIO

Upon joining, you will be automatically connected to audio through your Internet connection (WiFi or 3G).

• For the best audio experience, plug a headset into your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

• For iPhone users, if you prefer to dial in over the phone line, you can find the designated phone numbers in your meeting invitation email. Once you’ve joined the session, U.S. based numbers can be accessed with one click in Settings -> Meeting Info. (Note: iPhone users on the Verizon network will be unable to connect to the GoToMeeting web-based data stream and dial in over the phone at the same time.)

HDFaces VIDEO (iPad Only)

Upon joining the meeting, other’s webcams may be on and you will automatically see them.
• To turn on your webcam, tap the webcam icon, then tap the Share My Webcam button.
• We highly recommend using a strong Wi-Fi connection for best experience and connectivity.
• While it is possible to stream video over 4G/3G, we do recommend Wi-Fi. As operator data charges may apply, we highly recommend using an unlimited data plan or Wi-Fi connection.

Customer Reviews

• Great app

  by Cetronia62

  Works well just if you start meeting in phone settings a window pops every 3 seconds telling you to use the audio connection,other than that it works well.

• User

  by Todd In California

  It would be a great feature if you could make the ipad the presenter in the meeting.

• Very pleased

  by mdz0739

  Worked great for a webinar I attended online. No problems and worked flawlessly.

• Video functionality not avail on iPod

  by soulzyQr

  It's very important to be able to view the video conference and share my camera as well. Without that functionality cannot use app on iPod

• Well done

  by kvnox

  Very good. Works well

• Great App, mute volume changes...

  by Nullcoda

  I love this app and we use it a lot, but this current version appears to suppresses the ability to mute the audio in mic and speakers mode. This can be corrected by changing the audio mode within the in meeting settings to telephone. Not hard to find, but not exactly the first place I would look.

• Finally!

  by Oooooh Snap!

  Great modern design and much easier to find/join your meetings!

• Works like a champ!

  by John Sisk

  I use this app on daily basis and it's never let me down, but I did encounter one small problem recently. During a webinar the presenter posted embedded survey questions. Users of the iPad app were unable to see any of the questions. Is a fix in the works?

• Works on 4s fully up to date

  by Willlyyyyy

  And it's better than live or webex.

• gotomeeting voiceover accessibility

  by Jude-d

  the app seems to work with voiceover except for one thing that happens once you get logged into a meeting. For a while all controls remain on the screen and accessible to voiceover then for some reason the screen goes blank and I have to restart the 4s with ios 7.04 on it to shut down the software. I've been told gotomeeting is also acccessible on the mac but haven't personally verified that. The windows version I have personally verified as a total accessibility failure both for jaws and nvda users.

• Decent

  by Darnell, T.

  The most recent version of this app doesn't work with airplay.

• Good alternative to my desktop PC

  by Pickylistener

  I was trying to log on for an online class that I was taking but somehow my home PC and wifi didn't connect. I decided to download this app and was able to log on to the class using 4g LTE. The connection was fairly good. I was able to hear the other folks on the call and they could hear me. This app did its job so I can't complain.

• Fantastic Tool

  by Pastor T07

  I was pleasantly surprised that I could hear the presenter and see the slides. This app is definitely great and worked for me. I recommend it to those doing a webinar. I am not sure if my questions were posted, but I think they were.

• Daily use: pretty solid

  by GrahamFreeman

  I use this every day for 1-3 meetings per day. It works pretty reliably, and at this point I find it to be one of the better tools in my daily work routine. I was especially happy to see the new calendar integration feature - much better than having to dial those ridiculous codes! Naturally, as this app uses your data or wifi connection instead of placing a phone call, your data or wifi connection needs to be solid, otherwise your call will fail or sound awful. I do wish the app was a bit more aggressive about canceling or leaving a meeting. It seems to be waiting for confirmation from the server before it will complete the process of leaving a meeting, which can be frustrating when I'm trying to switch from a flaky wifi network to LTE in order to rejoin a call. I often find it faster to force-close the app and then reopen/rejoin. All in all, this app has transformed Gotomeeting from the part of my work that I liked the least (codes! Ridiculous dialing codes!) to one of the easiest parts of my work.

• Awesome, had zero problem downloading

  by Suzzj

  I was able to join the webinar in less than a minute. I figured I would have problems since so many others did, but I was an hour ahead of the webinar. Haven't actually done the webinar, so who knows if there will be an issue, but getting it on my iPad was no problem whatsoever. Maybe it is because I have some memory left for the devise.

• Worked Fine

  by sgrabor

  I just downloaded this for the webinar I was attending and it worked just fine - Thought I'd share since it looks like a lot of people had problems. Have only used it the one time so far though.

• Works for iPhone 5s iOS 7

  by Phlit

  App works great with all included features. Wish iPhone app could include hd faces.

• Works perfectly fine for me

  by CrimsonAnex

  Able to setup, join, and record meetings. Able to utilize video. Able to view shared desktops. Does what you need it to do.

• works for me

  by RiceMan77

  this app works fine for me

• Plese add the option to raise you hand.

  by Chavo 1999

  This app works for me and I use this for school a lot and if my computer crashed or something this is really helpful to me but I wished you would PLESE add the hand button to this app.

• Bad again!

  by Ssyed1780

  Keeps getting worse, doesn't even recognize my upcoming meetings, so I have to manually input the meeting id and then says 'waiting for organizer' - even though the meeting has started. Great update!!!

• New version crashes continually

  by Tiga FF77

  the app has worked well up until the latest revision. Now crashes continually. Hoperfully there will be an update soon.

• Garbage

  by Citadel man

  Audio is total garbage. Stay away!

• SOS! Your current version is not working at all!!!

  by Ismael Vertiz

  Please fix ASAP! This release crashes after connecting EVERY TIME, even after restart, or reinstalling! I'm using iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.4 Please fix ASAP. Our industry uses gotomeeting 4-5 times daily & it's crucial to our customer!!

• Audio always fails.

  by Kelley Lee

  Says it's working but no one can hear me. Doesn't allow me to dial in during meeting either

• Not supported

  by Dart440_72

  What's the point of this app? Clicked the the meeting and it told me these meetings are not supported. Login using a PC or a Mac.

• Locked up my iPad

  by AndreaJW

  This app locked up my iPad when I tried to enter a question in the question pane. I had to switch to my laptop so I could see the screen. This meant I had to re-register for the webinar, since each link is unique, and I missed several minutes of the program as a result. Don't use this app!

• Failed video

  by Widths brick

  The app worked well except for the video which said it was waiting for the other party to load. The other party had no issues and said they were sorry that I couldn't get it to work. Bad impression.

• Used to be better

  by Ssyed1780

  Keeps getting worse, not sure what's being accomplished here. Can't even join a meeting through my phone.

• Horrible!!

  by AmyS11

  Doesn't work!!!!

• DONT GET IT

  by Izzy yang⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  nobody ever joined the meeting so I was on hold for a long time with this annoying beep

• Unhappy

  by Chel808

  This app took forever to download. Totally missed the webinar because of it.

• Disappointed

  by deja vu 2

  I used to use this app but lately it has been hit or miss as to whether it will launch. Pretty useless theses days. I hope the updates catch up with the iOS changes soon.

• Terrible!! 17 min to install, can't open!

  by Ihatethissite

  Terrible!! 17 min to install, can't open!

• Does not work

  by Ilya Skalin

  Downloaded, but was not able to start using: log in page is frozen...

• No prblm

  by donavocado

  Worked fine for me

• Don't waste your time

  by Mikegghfdyu

  I downloaded this app, but I still can't find an icon. Junk! Too bad, it could have been useful...

• Useless

  by Schlitzy Anderson

  In my experience the application did not work. I started a meeting using the app and no one, myself included, was able to join.

• Didn't work

  by Leifbot

  It literally didn't work. Not even when I tried to attend the meeting by telephone! Don't waste your space.

• Seenbefore

  by Alineedrootseen

  Hhhhhh good

• Audio issues

  by SBGeek

  The app works great once you get it started but I couldn't adjust the volume to zero.

• iOS 7 update?!

  by Chirodewar

  Great in concept, but must keep up with current software.

• Needs Airplay support update

  by mmermaid

  Doesn't seem to work with/over Airplay to AppleTV with iOS 7 which was a feature I thought was great. Hope an update fixes it soon.

• Johanathan

  by Summersault1

  Well, lacked immediacy

• Works pretty well!

  by Brian Yackel

  Great app with a lot of great features, use them! The new auto-join meeting feature is great when you open the app.

• Random Sounds

  by Z...a

  I only use this app for joining visual meeting, NOT AUDIO MEETING. I use SKYPE for audio meetings and these random beeps always come on. I want to disable the mic and sound for this app. The sound is so annoying! STOP! I AM DELETING THIS APP. There needs to be an option in the app to turn off sound for THIS APP ONLY. I use skpe in the background and muting or reducing the sound does not help this issue. FIX

• Social Media Thrive

  by ngphoto12

  I love that I can connect on my iPhone but it really needs a video connection too! It would make it that much better!

• No longer works on iPad 2 running iOS 6.1.3

  by Dorelda Doremus

  Used to LOVE the convenience of having this app on iPad. Now I get a message saying this platform is not supported. It makes me VERY sorry our enterprise contracted with GTM.

• Doesn't work anymore!

  by Shawm1866

  What the title says!!!

• Crashes??

  by FranklinFolder

  Logged into a webinar I was invited and the app crashed repeatedly.

• UX fix required

  by Benny Wilder

  If in a go to meeting and I decide to type a message to a user - then change my mind - there is no way to close the keyboard and return to the previous meeting screen. Please fix that. Thx!

• Raise hand missing?

  by JakesKwet

  Great app. Works well in participation mode. One thing missing is the capability to raise ones hand. Will that be available soon??

• Does not mute!

  by Chuk33

  I just found out the hard way that when this app says you're muted in a webinar, you aren't. I just lost my job because my landlord visited in the middle of a conference, and everyone in my training class heard it, and knew just how many months behind I was. I'm going to get evicted because of this app!

• So buggy.

  by Ebergman

  Can't join a meeting for 5 minutes.

• Needs fixing and more functions

  by Ekaube

  I love GoToMeeting; the full web version works great. Unfortunately this app has a long way to go. I've tried it for 5 meetings and 4 had insurmountable problems such that I had to give up and fire up my laptop or switch to Skype. Once we couldn't hear each other, though it showed us as unmuted. Twice I logged in as the organizer but the app said the we were waiting for the organizer. Then just now it didn't give me the option to log out the wrong meeting I accidentally started. Once in a meeting, also need more of the functionality if the full version, though I can't remember what because IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE ACTUALLY HAD A MEETING WORK IN THE APP

• Good but lacking one critical piece

  by DeltaBiZnizzle

  Really need the ability to share anything that's on my mobile screen. It's great I can join a meeting remotely from my ipad and share from the cloud, from the browser or from a whiteboard but what I really need is the ability to share my mobile desktop....basically whatever I see they see. Share an app, etc. I demo mobile apps for a living and this would be much better if I could demo to customers from my mobile device w/o having to use things like airplay, etc.

• No video

  by Sjbrownie

  Lame. Couldn't see the meeting. Connected no problem. Audio no problem.

• Won't work

  by Txjacksons

  Although the description lists that the app is for the iPad, it won't work. I get a message that says that the platform is unsupported and I must use a PC.
