Joining meetings without an Amazon Chime user account

Note

• You must have a meeting ID to join without an account. You can copy the ID from the meeting invite. For information about other ways to find meeting IDs, see Finding meeting IDs.

• When you join anonymously, you automatically go to the Waiting Room. You remain there until an authorized attendee admits you to the meeting. If you have a moderator passcode, you can enter it in the Waiting Room and start the meeting.
