# Join a meeting by link
To join a meeting, open the link the host sent you. You don't need an account.
### Join
1. Open the meeting link.
2. On the preview screen, turn your camera and microphone on or off and enter your name.
3. Tap **Join meeting**.
dMeet asks for permission to use your camera and microphone the first time.
### If you see "Ask to join"
The meeting has a [waiting room](https://docs.dmeet.org/meetings/waiting-room). Tap **Ask to join** and wait: the host lets you in. If the host hasn't joined yet, the meeting starts when they arrive.

### On your phone
If the dMeet app isn't installed, the link opens in your phone's browser and you can join there. See [Join from your phone's browser](https://docs.dmeet.org/get-started/join-from-your-phones-browser).
### Can't connect?
Check that your browser is allowed to use the camera and microphone for dmeet.org, then reload the page. More fixes in [FAQ and support](https://docs.dmeet.org/help/faq).
### Why create an account
Joining as a guest works, but with a free account your meeting history and AI summaries of the meetings you attend stay with you, and you can make direct calls and send private chats. See [Create your account](https://docs.dmeet.org/get-started/create-your-account).
