How do I install GoToMeeting on a Mac?

Installing the full-featured GoToMeeting desktop app onto your computer allows you to get the most out of your meetings. Note that when you start or join a meeting, the GoToMeeting software download will begin automatically unless you are on an unsupported system. In that case, you will be taken to the browser-based Web App.

About the installation package

MAC OS X: both 10.9 and 10.10 So GTM apps will download new versions OK, but they don't overwrite/delete previous versions, hence you discover the following as per the screenshot. Or is there some button i'm not pressing? Thanks Jonathan. Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) to macOS Catalina (10.15) Improvements to New GoToMeeting (Limited Beta) Improvements have been made to the New GoToMeeting desktop app! Improvements include: Support for German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Chinese. New 'skip camera preview' setting. Ability to change camera feed layout when viewing a shared screen.

Once the desktop app is installed, you will be able to join and start future meetings more quickly by avoiding the extended download process. When you install GoToMeeting, you will download 2 parts of the software to your computer.

• GoToMeeting desktop app – This is the main software that you use to join and start meetings.
• GoTo Opener – This is the 'helper' application that launches you into active meetings.

Step-by-Step Installation Instructions for Mac OSX Users

Step 1: Setup a Free Account:

Before you can install GoToMeeting on your Mac you need to create an account. If you don’t already have an account, GoToMeeting offers a free 30 day trial. The free trial doesn’t require a commitment. You can cancel at any time.

Step 2: Install the Software:

Once you’ve created your GoToMeeting account, you need to install the software. You’ll be prompted to install the software when you complete the sign up process. If you need to re-download the software, you can do it by following this link (you must have an account). When prompted, make sure you click the “Always run on this site” button, otherwise, the installation will fail.

Step 3: Meet Now or Schedule a Meeting

Once you’ve installed the software you’ll be prompted to “Meet Now” or “Schedule a Meeting”. If you’re not ready to host your first meeting, just close the window. GoToMeeting saves a quick-start icon to your desktop, so you can instantly start a meeting in the future. You can move this shortcut to your dock, or any other location.
