STEP 1: Register for a session

If you'd like to attend a session as an attendee, you'll first need to register for the session using the Registration URL in your GoToWebinar invitation. After you register, you'll receive a confirmation email with information on how to join the session when it's time.

2. Click the Registration URL to open the registration form.

3. Fill out all required fields, including your first name, last name and email address. Then click Register.

4. Once you've successfully registered, you'll see a Registration Confirmation page.

  • If the organizer sets up automatic approval, you'll immediately receive a confirmation email with information on how to join the session.
  • If the organizer sets up manual approval, the organizer must first approve your registration before you'll receive a confirmation email.

 

STEP 2: Join a session

Option A: Attend by clickin "Join URL"
Once you register for a session, the Confirmation email will include a unique link. This is the Join URL; you can open it in any web browser to automatically join the session!
 
Option B: Attend by entering in session ID
If you don't have the Join URL or are having trouble being automatically launched into session, you can join by manually entering the Session ID. This will also be included in the session invitation
