Starting a meeting now, or joining one

Starting it

From the «Dashboard», the «Start a meeting» card; from the «Meetings» page, «New meeting» at the top right and then «Start an instant meeting». In both cases a small window opens asking only for the «Title» (and, if you have the privilege, the «End-to-end encryption» switch). With «Start now» the room is born and you land on the preparation screen — from the Meeting page it opens in a new browser tab.

A quick meeting is born with the waiting room on and guest access allowed; in the list it shows the «Quick» label, with no date.

You take the link afterwards: in the room with «Copy meeting link» in the bottom bar, or from the meeting row with «Copy link».

Joining someone else’s meeting

From the Dashboard, «Join a meeting»: a small window opens with the «Enter the meeting code or the invitation link» field (example: «e.g. abc-defg-hij»), then «Join». Both the code and the whole link work.

If you read «Meeting not found», the code is incomplete or the meeting has been deleted.

If they sent you the link by email, just click it: you land on the preparation screen.

The code and the link

On the meeting row the code is written in three blocks: clicking it copies it («Click to copy meeting code», then «Copied!»). They are two ways to the same room: the link is clicked, the code is read out over the phone.
