Joining a Meeting
How to join a meeting in InterMIND via link, ID, or invitation.
Joining a Meeting
Join via Link
The most common way to join a meeting:
- Click the meeting link shared with you (e.g.,
https://intermind.com/abc-def-hij) - If you're signed in, you go directly to the pre-join setup
- Configure your camera and microphone
- Click Join
Join via Meeting ID
If you have a meeting ID instead of a link:
- Go to the Meetings page
- Click Join Meeting
- Enter the meeting ID or paste the full URL
- Click Join
- Configure your camera and microphone in the pre-join setup
- Click Join to enter the meeting
Join as a Guest
If you don't have an InterMIND account, you can join ad-hoc meetings as a guest:
- Click the meeting link — you're sent to the Join Meeting screen
- Enter your display name
- Optionally pick a translation language (defaults to your interface language)
- Click Join
- The Pre-Join Setup screen lets you preview camera and mic
- Click Join again — a host-approval request is sent and you enter the waiting room ("Waiting for approval")
- Once the host clicks Admit, you enter the meeting
If the host clicks Deny, or does not respond within 5 minutes, the request is declined and you can leave.
Guest access is only available for ad-hoc meetings. Channels require a team account.
Join Channel Meetings
For team channels:
- Navigate to the channel from the Channels page
- Click to join the channel meeting
- You must be a member of the team that owns the channel — if not, the meeting URL returns a 404
- No host approval needed — team members have direct access
Pre-Join Setup
Before entering any meeting, you see the pre-join setup screen where you can:
- Preview your camera — See how you look
- Select microphone — Choose from available input devices
- Select camera — Choose from available cameras
- Select speakers — Choose audio output device
- Start muted — Toggle microphone and camera off before joining
You can skip this screen by disabling it in Settings → Meeting Defaults.
Troubleshooting Joining
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| "Meeting not found" | Check that the meeting ID or link is correct |
| Camera/mic not working | Make sure you've granted browser permissions for camera and microphone |
| Stuck in waiting room | The host hasn't approved your request yet — wait or contact them |
| "Access denied" | The host denied your join request, or you're not a member of the team that owns the channel |
