Joining a meeting costs nothing and needs no account. Hosting your own meetings needs a paid GoTo Meeting plan, and a 14-day free trial lets you try that first.

This guide covers which download fits your machine, the install steps, browser joining, pricing, requirements and install fixes.

Download GoTo Meeting from the official links

GoTo hosts every desktop and mobile download itself. The download center has one Download button that serves the right installer for Windows or Mac.

  1. GoTo download center — Desktop app for Windows and Mac, mobile links and browser join
  2. Download and install the GoTo app — Windows, Mac, iOS and Android tabs with direct links
  3. What’s new in the GoTo app — Release notes with EXE, MSI and DMG links for each version
  4. GoTo Meeting product page — Features, plans and the free trial

Choose the GoTo Meeting MSI package for company deployment

GoTo ships two kinds of MSI, and each suits a different rollout. Both come in 64-bit and 32-bit builds.

Package Where it installs Best for
MSI for per-machine installation Program Files, shared by every user; needs admin elevation Managed PCs pushed through a deployment tool
MSI for per-user installation during login Per user, installed when that user signs in to Windows Shared PCs where each person gets their own copy
DMG for Mac (Apple and Intel) Each Mac, installed from the chip-specific DMG Mac fleets through your management tool
Deployment guide Deploy the GoTo app to multiple computers Specifications, supported properties and group policy templates

GoTo recommends deploying the GoTo Opener alongside the MSI. People who join from a meeting link then skip a separate download on their own.

How to join a GoTo Meeting from your browser without installing

Attendees can join straight from a browser with no download and no account. The web app drops a few desktop features, such as flexible layout mode.

  3. Select Allow when the browser requests microphone and camera access.

Is GoTo Meeting free?

The answer turns on whether you attend or host. Attendees never pay, and the app itself costs nothing to install.

Joining is free; hosting is paid. Start the 14-day free trial if you want to host before you buy. GoTo sells hosting per organizer. Professional costs $12 per organizer per month billed annually, or $14 billed monthly, for up to 150 participants. Business costs $16 billed annually, or $19 monthly, for up to 250 participants. Enterprise pricing comes from GoTo sales.

The free trial needs a name, a business email and a password, but no credit card. It expires after 14 days and does not renew on its own.

Recordings and meeting history stay in the account when you subscribe with the same email. Plans and currencies are listed on the GoTo Meeting pricing page.

Should you install the GoTo app or the classic GoTo Meeting app?

Older guides still point to the classic GoTo Meeting desktop app. Its last listed release was version 10.20.0 in April 2024.

Install the GoTo app. It is the desktop app GoTo now ships for GoTo Meeting, and it receives regular releases. The GoTo app handles meetings, webinars and trainings in one place The classic desktop app stays limited to 25 shared cameras, while the new GoTo experience shows up to 50.

If an old GoTo Meeting shortcut still opens the classic interface, uninstall it and install the current GoTo app from the download center.

The hardware bar is low. Memory and a steady connection matter more than the processor.

Fix GoTo Meeting not downloading or installing on Windows 11 and 10

  1. Check the quarantine list in your antivirus and restore the GoTo file if it landed there.
  2. Allow the GoTo app through your firewall software.
  3. Download the file again from the GoTo download center, not a mirror.

  2. Select each GoTo process and select End task.
  3. Run the installer again.

  3. Restart the PC and install a fresh copy.
