Join a video call
Use Meet for browser-based video calls. You can join from a calendar event or by opening a Meet link directly.
Join from Calendar
- Open the event in Calendar.
- Click the Meet link in the event location.
- Wait for Meet to open in a new tab.
Join from Meet
You can also open Meet from the portal and paste a meeting link or room name.
Allow browser permissions
The first time you join, the browser asks for camera and microphone access. Choose Allow so other participants can hear and see you.
If the browser blocks access, use the camera or lock icon in the address bar to allow permissions for the Meet site.
During the call
Use the toolbar to mute your microphone, turn your camera on or off, share your screen, open chat, and leave the room.
Before joining
Check these items before a planned meeting:
- Your camera preview looks correct.
- The right microphone is selected.
- The right speaker or headphones are selected.
- Browser notifications or noisy tabs are closed.
Start an instant meeting
From the portal dashboard, click Start instant meeting in the Meet card. Use this for unscheduled conversations.
Share the room link with participants after the room opens.
Join from a calendar event
The portal dashboard shows Join next to upcoming events that have a Meet link. Click Join when the meeting is ready.
