How do I invite guests?
If you are on a Windows computer, you can invite other Windows users to view or take full control of the host computer screen. Note that this feature can only be used while you are physically at your host computer, and it is not available on Mac.
Invite a Windows guest
- Make sure you are at your host computer.
- In your computer system tray, right-click on teh GoToMyPC icon and click Invite Guest to PC.

- Choose when the invitation will expire and click Send.
- When prompted, enter your GoToMyPC email address and password to confirm.
