Join a Meeting as a Guest

Anyone can join a Cymbus meeting, even if you are not a Cymbus user. Choose one or all of the following: 

• Download the Cymbus app onto your computer or mobile phone (This article)

• Use a web browser on your computer

• Dial into a meeting via PSTN

You need a meeting link or a meeting ID. No login required!

When someone invites you to a Cymbus meeting, you receive a meeting invite outside of the Cymbus app, such as email. This invite contains a meeting link and an ID, and a passcode if the host requires it. You can join a meeting by clicking a meeting link, or entering a meeting ID. The Cymbus app needs access to your microphone and camera for a meeting. You will be able to test your microphone and camera before joining a meeting.

Use the App and a Meeting Link

1. In the meeting invite, take note of the passcode. A passcode is included in the invite if enabled by the host.

   

2. Click a meeting link in the invite. A web page opens in your default browser.
