Use this interactive demo to learn how to send a chat message during a live GoTo Meeting session.

Quick summary

The GoTo Meeting chat feature lets hosts and participants send messages to everyone or specific attendees directly from the chat panel during a live session. This step-by-step walkthrough covers how to open chat, compose a message, choose a recipient, and send it without leaving your meeting.


Steps

  1. In the GoTo Meeting dashboard, locate the meeting you want to host and click its Start button.
  2. Review and configure your meeting settings, then click Start My Session to launch the meeting.
  3. Once inside the session, navigate to the top menu bar and click Chat to open the chat panel.
  4. Type your message into the chat input field.
  5. Click the drop-down menu below the input field and select your recipient (e.g., Everyone or a specific participant).
  6. Review your message and click Send to deliver it.
  7. Your chat message is now visible to the selected recipients in the chat panel while the GoTo Meeting session continues.

📌 Why this matters

GoTo Meeting's built-in chat feature enables hosts and participants to exchange messages in real time without disrupting the flow of a live video session. Being able to send targeted messages to everyone or specific attendees keeps communication focused and reduces cross-talk during presentations. The chat panel is instantly accessible from the meeting toolbar, making it easy for any participant to engage without needing a separate messaging tool. For teams that rely on GoTo Meeting for remote collaboration, mastering in-session chat improves meeting efficiency and participant engagement.
