Fix: GoToMeeting Not Working in Outlook

While not as popular as Zoom or Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting is one of the first online meeting and video conferencing tools launched on the market. LogMeIn first introduced GoToMeeting in 2004 as a remote desktop sharing tool. The platform now supports mobile conferencing, meeting recording and transcription, personal meeting rooms, and more.

You can also use the GoToMeeting Outlook plugin and quickly join your meetings directly from the email client. Unfortunately, the plugin may sometimes stop working in Outlook. Let’s explore how you can fix the problem.
