Join a meeting as a guest
A guest joins a TeamHUD meeting from a link in a web browser. You do not need an account or the app.
Before you start: a host sent you a link (it looks like https://…/meet/…), and you have a camera or microphone if you want to be seen or heard.
- Open the link. The join screen shows a preview of your camera.
- Enter your name. Type it under Display name (up to 80 characters, one line). Everyone in the meeting sees it.
- Enter the passcode, if asked. The host gives it to you separately.
- Allow your camera and microphone. Your browser asks the first time. You can join without them to watch and listen.
- Set the toggles. The microphone starts off. Click the camera or microphone button to change it, or pick devices under Devices.
- Click Join meeting.

Section titled “If the host wants to let you in”Most meetings ask the host to approve each guest. Instead of Join meeting you see Knock to join: <meeting title> requires approval to enter.
- Name and passcode. Fill in Display name, and Passcode if asked.
