Join a Proton Meet call without a Proton Account

Anyone can join a Proton Meet call using an invite link — you don’t need a Proton Account.

If you receive an invitation on a non-Proton email address, simply click the meeting link in the email to join.

Join Proton Meet calls from any email invite, even if you don't have a Proton Account

However, a free Proton Account makes using Meet quicker and easier. You can:

  • Use your Proton Account name as the default name for calls (you can still edit it)
  • Open meeting links directly from your Proton Mail or Proton Calendar
  • Host and schedule your own calls
  • Use regular and personal meeting rooms for recurring and on-demand calls

More call features

All participants on a call can share their screen, react with emojis, and send messages using Proton Meet’s chat feature. Hosts can also lock and unlock meetings, mute participants or turn off their camera, remove participants, and record meetings.

On Android, you can put Proton Meet into picture-in-picture mode during a meeting to keep the call visible in a small floating window while you switch apps and do other tasks.
