I've been invited to Ovida — what's next?

A walkthrough of joining your first Ovida meeting as a guest, with or without signing up.

If you're new to Ovida and a host has invited you to a meeting, you'll receive an invitation email like this:

You have two ways to join.

Option 1: Join without signing up

The fastest way in. No account needed.

1. Click Join meeting in the invitation email.

2. Select your role and agree to the terms.

3. In the lobby, run the pre-flight test to check your audio and camera.

4. Once everything checks out, click to join.

You can still register later if you want access to and control over your meeting data.

Option 2: Sign up before joining

If you want an Ovida account from the start (recommended if you'll be having regular meetings here):

1. Click Sign up now in the invitation email.

2. Set your password and click Back to All Applications to return to the login page.

3. Log in for the first time and accept the Terms & Conditions.

4. You'll see your scheduled meeting in the app. Click Join to enter the meeting (video rooms open 5 minutes before the scheduled start time).

Test your video setup

Whichever way you join, we recommend running the Test audio and video step in the meeting lobby first. Ovida uses your browser for video, and a quick check helps avoid problems mid-meeting.
