How to join a Proton Meet video call
Join with a meeting link
Anyone with a meeting link can join a Proton Meet call — no accounts or apps needed. Here’s how to join using your link:
- Click the Proton Meet link you received. All Proton Meet links start with meet.proton.me/.
- (Optional) Click Sign in to sign in to your Proton Account, or Create an account to sign up for free.
- Allow microphone and camera access if prompted.
- (Optional), change your display name and ask Proton Meet to remember your name on your device.
- Select Join meeting.

Join from a Proton Calendar invitation
- Open the invite. You can do this in two ways:
- Open your Proton Mail app or go to mail.proton.me(nouvelle fenêtre) and open the event invite. Click Join with Proton Meet.

- Open your Proton Calendar app or go to calendar.proton.me(nouvelle fenêtre) and open the meeting event. Click Join with Proton Meet. This will open Proton Meet in a new window on desktop, or in the mobile app if you have it installed.

- Allow microphone and camera access if prompted.
- Optionally, change your display name and ask Proton Meet to remember your name on your device.
- Select Start meeting.

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.

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.
