Meet
Starting a meeting
Start a call now or make a link for later, set a password or a waiting room, and know how many people your plan fits in one call.
On this page
Open Meet and press Start a meeting. You land in the call with the link already made, and you can send that link to anybody: they do not need a Nemi account, a download or a plugin to open it.
If the call is for later, press Create a meeting link instead. The link works straight away and keeps working, whether or not you set a time, so a weekly call needs only one link that you send once.
What you can set when you make the link#
Create a meeting link
Everyone waits on a knock screen until you admit them.
People without an account cannot join, even with the link.
A meeting code looks like abc-defg-hij: letters only, in three groups, because people read them out over the phone. The code is the credential for that meeting, exactly the way a share link is the credential for a file. Anyone who has it can join, subject to the password, the waiting room and the lock. Treat it accordingly.
How many people, and for how long#
Both numbers come from the plan of the person who created the meeting, and they are fixed when the call starts, so a call does not shorten halfway through because somebody on a different plan joined.
| Plan | People in one call | Length of a call |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 3 | 40 minutes |
| Starter | 5 | 120 minutes |
| Creator | 8 | No limit |
| Pro | 10 | No limit |
| Max | 10 | No limit |
| Business | 10 | No limit |
Ten is the ceiling on every plan, Business included. See below for why.
When a call is close to its time limit, the room shows how long is left, five minutes before the end. There is no grace period after that, so start a fresh call from the same link if you need to keep going.
Managing your meetings#
- All meetings lists everything you have created, with a mark on the ones that have people in them right now.
- Scheduled narrows it to the ones you gave a time.
- Each row has Copy the invite link and Delete this meeting. Deleting stops the link working and removes the meeting chat and the record of who attended.
- Sharing a code you were read out loud: paste it, or the whole link, into the join box at the top of the page.
When it does not go to plan#
Somebody says the meeting is full.
The call has reached the number of people the host's plan fits. Somebody has to leave, or the host needs a bigger plan before the call starts. See Plans.
Somebody is stuck on a waiting screen.
The meeting has "Ask me before letting people in" switched on and nobody has admitted them. The People panel opens by itself when somebody knocks. If the host has left the call, nobody can let anybody in.
Can I hand the meeting to somebody else?
The person who created the meeting is the host, and that does not move. Host controls such as muting, removing somebody, locking the meeting and ending it for everyone are theirs.
I do not see Meet at all.
It is still rolling out. If Meet is not in your app launcher, it has not been switched on for your account yet.
