Apps and platforms

Use Glow Meetings in your browser or in the apps for Windows, macOS, iPhone, iPad and Android. Invite links can open the installed app.

Glow Meetings works the same way everywhere. Your account, meetings and plan are the same on every device, and every device gets its own security identity.

Where you can use Glow Meetings#

  • Web — in a modern browser. Open Glow Meetings. See Browser support.
  • Windows — the desktop app.
  • macOS — the desktop app for Macs with Apple silicon.
  • iPhone and iPad — the iOS app.
  • Android — the Android app for phones and tablets.

Get the desktop apps from the download page.

If the Glow Meetings app is installed, invite links can open it directly. On a phone or tablet, the invite page offers Open in the Glow Meetings app. If the app isn't installed, you can join right there in the browser.

On a computer, the desktop app opens invite links too, and brings its existing window forward.

Desktop app extras#

  • Mini window — keeps the meeting visible when you minimise the main window. See Picture in picture and mini window.
  • Menu bar or system tray — show Glow Meetings, join with a link, or quit.
  • Notifications — when someone is waiting to join your meeting and the window isn't in front, and 5 minutes before a scheduled meeting starts.
  • Open Glow Meetings when this computer starts — turn it on in Settings, under About.
  • Secure sign-in storage — your sign-in and keys are kept in your computer's system keychain or credential store.

Updates#

The desktop apps download updates in the background. When one is ready, select Restart to update. If you're in a meeting, Glow Meetings waits until it ends.

The web app tells you when a new version is ready. Select Reload to use it.

If you see Update required, your version can no longer join meetings. Update to keep meeting securely — it only takes a moment. You can check for updates any time in Settings, under About, with Check now.

On phones and tablets#

  • Switch between front and back cameras with Switch camera.
  • Keep the meeting in a small window while you use other apps. See Picture in picture and mini window.
  • If a phone call interrupts, Glow Meetings pauses your audio and lets you Resume afterwards.
