How to Join Online Meetings and Webinars

There are many benefits to attending webinars and meetings online. They allow people located far distances from each other to connect and share ideas. They conveniently allow us stay in our own offices and desks during the work day. They don't require expensive software or technology to use. They allow for more attendees than traditional meetings and training sessions.

Online meetings and webinars are great, but if you haven't attended one before, they may be a little confusing.

If you've been invited to an online meeting using GoToMeeting, here's a great resource explaining how to join your meeting. Attending a webinar? In this post, we'll explain four things you should know!

1. Registering and Getting the Webinar Link

When registering for a webinar, you should receive a confirmation email that contains a link to the webinar shortly after you register. When you receive your webinar confirmation email, you can save the webinar's details into your calendar by clicking on "Save the Date."

Please do not share your webinar link with others, as it is unique to you. If you would like to share a webinar with a colleague, please give them the webinar's details and tell them to register on their own.

2. Logging in to the Webinar and Choosing Your Audio Option

Most companies use GoToWebinar to host their webinars. GoToWebinar does not require you to download its software onto your computer. You can view GoToWebinar events conveniently from your internet browser.

When the webinar begins, GoToWebinar's default audio setting is to broadcast sound through your computer's speakers. If you prefer to use your phone, after you've joined the webinar, choose 'Use Telephone' and then dial in the phone number and Audio PIN found in the webinar.

3. Asking Questions During the Webinar

If you have a question during a webinar, feel free to ask us your question in the 'Questions' chat box that will appear once the webinar is live. Another way to let the moderators know that you have a question is by clicking the 'raise hand' button.

4. Ask for help!

Sometimes, things just don't go to plan. If you don't receive your webinar link, have trouble getting into the webinar or are experiencing audio difficulties, reach out to the event's organizers for assistance.
