GoToMeeting shortcuts on Mac
The shortcuts above are built for the Windows desktop app. On macOS, GoToMeeting’s dedicated keyboard-shortcut support has historically been more limited than on Windows, and many Windows combinations do not map cleanly to Mac keys. If you’re on a Mac, the most reliable approach is to use the on-screen control panel buttons, or check whether your current GoTo app version exposes Mac-specific shortcuts in its preferences. Where a Mac equivalent exists, it typically swaps Ctrl for Cmd (⌘).
A note on GoToMeeting vs. the GoTo app (2026)
This matters for accuracy, so it’s worth 30 seconds. The product historically known as GoToMeeting has been folded into the unified GoTo app by GoTo (formerly LogMeIn). The shortcuts below reflect the classic GoToMeeting Windows desktop application, which is still the version most people search for. If you’re on the newer GoTo app or on Mac, some combinations differ or may not be available always confirm against GoTo’s official support page, linked at the end of this article.
How to use keyboard shortcuts in GoToMeeting
- Join or start a GoToMeeting session in the desktop app (most shortcuts are Windows-desktop only).
- Make sure the GoToMeeting window or control panel is the active, focused window.
- Press the key combination for the action you want for example, Ctrl + Alt + A to toggle your mic.
- Most shortcuts are toggles: the same combination turns an action on and then off again.
Troubleshooting: GoToMeeting shortcuts not working
- The wrong window is focused. Shortcuts only fire when the GoToMeeting app or its control panel is the active window. Click the GoToMeeting window first, then press the combination.
- You’re in a browser/web session. Most shortcuts require the desktop app, not the browser version.
- You’re on Mac. Windows combinations may not apply see the Mac section above.
- Another app stole the shortcut. A system or third-party tool may have claimed the same combination. Close conflicting apps or change their hotkeys.
- You’re on the new GoTo app. Some shortcuts changed in the unified app confirm on GoTo’s official support page.

Frequently asked questions
What is the GoToMeeting shortcut to mute?
Press Ctrl + Alt + A in the classic GoToMeeting Windows desktop app to mute or unmute your microphone. It’s a toggle, so the same keys unmute you again.
How do I start screen sharing with a shortcut in GoToMeeting?
Press Ctrl + Alt + S to start or stop screen sharing, and Ctrl + Alt + P to pause or resume it.
Do GoToMeeting keyboard shortcuts work on Mac?
Support is limited compared with Windows. Many Windows shortcuts don’t map directly to macOS; where they do, Ctrl is usually replaced by Cmd (⌘). Use the on-screen controls if a shortcut doesn’t respond.
How do I mute everyone as the organizer?
Press Alt + M to mute or unmute all participants. This works only if you’re the meeting organizer.
Is GoToMeeting still available in 2026?
GoToMeeting has been integrated into the unified GoTo app by GoTo (formerly LogMeIn). The classic desktop app and its shortcuts are still widely used, but newer accounts may be steered toward the GoTo app, where some shortcuts differ.
Where is the official list of GoToMeeting shortcuts?
GoTo publishes the current list on its support site at support.goto.com. Because that page loads its table dynamically, third-party references like this one are often easier to scan but always confirm critical shortcuts against the official page.
Conclusion
