Joining an Existing Huddle

There are several ways to join an existing Huddle:

  • Directly through the application
  • Using a Meeting ID and Passcode
  • Via Google Calendar (if the event was scheduled)

Once you've joined, you can adjust your Pre-Lobby Settings and see who else is in the waiting room.

Sharing a Huddle Video Conference

Sharing Huddle meeting details is straightforward. If you're using Google or Microsoft Calendar, participants will automatically receive their login information when you schedule the meeting.

You can invite participants, Huddle users or not, directly to non-scheduled Huddles. Simply click the Info (i) icon at the bottom left of the Huddle screen to send an email with all the necessary meeting information.
