Public Meetings

Written by Marcel Goya

Updated May 6, 2024


A public meeting is a LinguSocial Meeting that contains participants from outside your team or organization. When someone outside your organization joins the meeting, they won't have to create an account with LinguSocial before. They still enjoy the same features as regular LinguSocial users.  

Benefits of public Meetings

By participating in public meetings on our platform, your invitees gain instant access to valuable discussions and insights without the need for an account. This means they can join meetings effortlessly, without any registration hassles. Once the meeting is finished, you will still be able to use all the other features of our transcript editor to polish that transcript to perfection. You can also invite the same individuals from your meeting to collaborate with you in real-time on the transcript from within the transcript editor.

How to use public meetings

To start a public meeting with, simply go to Recents -> press the action button on the bottom and choose between an audio or video meeting. Make sure to select the public meeting checkbox. This will generate a publicly sharable link that you can send to the person that you want to meet with.

To Join, simply open the link that you copied or go to Recents -> press the action button and press `Join Meeting`. Then enter the meeting code and you will join the meeting.

Before you join the meeting, please make sure that your Microphone, headset, webcam etc are all working and selected correctly.

If you'd like to turn on/off your microphone or camera before starting the conference, select the appropriate icons first.

You'll enter the meeting and await the arrival of any other Participants. Since you're the Organizer, you'll have access to the host controls.

Remember that we currently only support Google Chrome for meetings.
