Start an ad hoc meeting with the Meet button

Overview

The Meet button at the bottom of any space lets you start an instant, unscheduled call directly in that space. Use it when you want to talk to collaborators right now without scheduling a meeting first.

Steps

  1. Open any space.
  2. Click the Meet button at the bottom center of the canvas area.
  3. The Add People to this Call modal opens.
  4. Under Call Access Settings, review or change who can join.
  5. Copy the Call Link and share it, or invite people by entering their email addresses.
  6. Click Start to enter the meeting room.

Steps — inside the meeting room

  1. Use the controls bar at the bottom:
    • Settings — Opens display and device settings (includes Hide Video Streams toggle and Device Settings).
    • Leave (red button) — End your participation.
    • Add To Call — Share the call link with additional participants.
    • Audio — Toggle your microphone on or off. Click the chevron to select a different audio device.
    • Video — Toggle your camera on or off. Click the chevron to select a different camera.
    • Raise Hand — Display a raised hand banner visible to all participants.
    • Share Screen — Share your screen with all participants.
  2. When done, click Leave to exit the meeting room.
  3. After leaving, choose Go to Dashboard or Return to Space, and optionally rate the call quality from 1 to 5.

Additional details

  • Ad hoc meetings are not added to the Calendar and do not send calendar invitations.
  • The call link can be shared with anyone who has access to the space.

Troubleshooting

  • If the Meet button is not visible, scroll down or check your zoom level — it sits at the bottom center of the canvas.
  • If participants cannot join via the link, check the Call Access Settings in the modal.
