Joining a Meeting

You have a few options for joining a Bridgit meeting. In this section, I walk you through each option.

Joining a meeting from an e-mail invitation

The easiest way to join a meeting is to click the link in an e-mail invite. To join a meeting from an e-mail invite, follow these steps:

1. Select the link in the body of the e-mail.

If you haven’t run the software, you’ll need to run it. The Join Conference dialog box appears.

2. In the appropriate fields, type your name and, if required, the password.

If a password is required, it will be included in the body of the e-mail that contained the link.

3. Click OK.

The lobby screen opens and you’re in!

Joining a meeting when cookies are disabled

If you try to join a meeting by clicking the link in your e-mail invite and a message appears telling you that you aren’t able to join because cookies are disabled in your web browser, you have two options: Either enable the cookies (which may not be possible if you’re on a network) or download the client software and manually enter the meeting information.

Follow these steps to download and enter the information manually.

1. Click the link in the e-mail invite.

The File Download box appears.

2. Click the Save button.

3. Browse to where you want to store the file on your computer and click Save.

4. Find the file saved on your computer, and double-click the icon to open the file.

The Open File Security Warning dialog box appears.

5. Click Run.
