Go To Meeting Instructions for New Hires

Welcome to Essentials! 

Listed below is crucial information you will need as a new hire here at Essentials for utilizing our Go To Meeting. Go To Meeting is our main source for online meetings.

1. If signing in to the company account, please use the login credentials that you received with your orientation packet.

2. Click on Go To Meeting https://www.gotomeeting.com and either join through the website if you know all of the information, or check your company email account that your information was sent to.

3. Or,  if someone sends you a meeting request from Go To Meeting, reference the link from that and you can either sign in on your computer or call into the meeting from the number provided.

4. There are several ways to join a Go-To Meeting. If you are using a laptop or desktop computer, simply click the hyperlink and it will give you a webpage that looks like this:

Simply select the appropriate audio option (depending on the type of meeting) and wait for the meeting organizer to arrive. If you are the meeting organizer, click the link that says “Start the Meeting.”

5. If you are calling in from your smart phone, type the phone number provided:

After dialing, an automated voice will instruct you to enter your Access code  and the pound (#) sign afterwards. The access code  was provided in your email with the rest of the information for the meeting.

6.  Mute your microphone upon arrival into the meeting so that you don’t get any feedback.

7. On the subject of microphones, also be sure to check BEFORE the meeting that your microphone and webcam are working. It is very unprofessional and sloppy to not come prepared for the meeting.

8. Another tip before going to an online meeting is to make sure you are in a quiet location with a business-friendly or professional setting. These are things that tend to be forgotten in the logistics of setting up a meeting.
