In order to use the desktop app to host a meeting, you'll need to log in using your GoToMeeting username (email address) and password.

• Organizers need to first create their accounts and download the GoToMeeting software on their computers before they can conduct events. Organizers can download GoToMeeting anytime by going to www.gotomeeting.com and clicking the Host a Meeting button. GoToMeeting Organizers start all meetings and e vents and must be present before one can begin.
• Standard events (formerly called 'Classic webinars') are fully interactive events that are hosted live by the organizer. Webcast events are similar to standard events but allow organizers to host large, broadcast-style sessions with up to 2,000 attendees (available for higher tiered plans) in listen-only mode.
• Organizers can mute and unmute attendee's audio at any time during the session. If an attendee mutes themselves, the organizer cannot unmute them. Instead, the organizer can ask them to unmute themselves. If the organizer mutes an attendee, the attendee can unmute themselves.

GoToMeeting organizers start all meetings. An organizer must always be present to keep the meeting running. Organizers need to first create their accounts and download the GoToMeeting software on their computers before they can conduct meetings.

• If you are trying to start your own meeting and end up in the Hallway (shown on the right), click Sign in now to enter your organizer credentials and launch the meeting.

• Note that your attendees don't need to log in to join your meeting (with the exception of password-protected meetings).

2Set up your audio

When you first join, you'll be prompted to choose which method you'd like to use to listen to the meeting audio.

• Select Computer audio to use your computer's mic and speakers.

• Select Phone call to use your telephone to dial in to the audio conference.

Once you're in the session, you will see your audio controls on the Audio tab. You can switch audio modes at any time.

3Mute & unmute

Control your audio using the Audio button at the top of your Control Panel or Grab Tab, which will glow green when you are unmuted and others can hear you. You'll see a Mic icon for Computer audio, or a Phone icon for phone call audio.

You can also switch between Computer and Phone audio if needed by opening the Audio pane in the Control Panel.

4Manage attendees

The Attendee list displays all your meeting participants and gives you access to GoToMeeting controls. Click the Arrow icon next to any participant's name to see all options, including the following:

• Mute their audio
• Promote them to Presenter or Co-organizer
• Allow them to take keyboard and mouse control

5Invite others

All that your attendees need to join the meeting is the Join URL or the 9-digit meeting ID. You can quickly see and copy these things to your clipboard in the following places:

• In the Attendees pane, click Invite at the bottom right. This will open the Invite People window, where you can copy the URL or generate an email invitation.

• Click the Meeting ID text at the very bottom of the Control Panel. This will open a drop-down menu with multiple options for sending info to your attendees.
