Error 12002

This error usually appears on the screen when users try to start a new meeting. To bypass it, disable your browser extensions and clear the browsing cache.

If disabling your extensions and clearing the cache did not work, switch to a different browser and check if you can launch the meeting.

An Error Occurred During Transcoding

GoToMeeting throws this error message when it fails to convert your meeting recording to a different video format. To troubleshoot this issue, cancel the conversion. After relaunching the process but, this time, select a different format. Cancel the second conversion process and switch back to the problematic format. Check if you can convert your recording now. If the problem persists, exit the converter and relaunch it.
