Can I use Nearo in a web browser?

Guests joining a Room can use any browser on any device. Hosts and Call participants need the Desktop App.

Whether you need the Nearo Desktop App depends on your role and which connection method you are using.

Guests joining a Nearo Room

If you are joining a Nearo Room as a guest, you can join using any modern web browser β€” no account, login, or app download is required.

Browser-based joining works on:

  • Computers (Mac or Windows)

  • Chromebooks

  • iPads and other tablets

  • Phones (iOS or Android)

Your host will send you a Room link to use when joining.

Room hosts

Hosting a Room requires the Nearo Desktop App installed on a Mac or Windows computer.

  • Open the Desktop App and click Open Room to start your Room.

The Desktop App is not available for phones, tablets, iPads, or Chromebooks.

For instructions on downloading and installing the app, see Downloading and installing the Nearo app on Mac or Windows.

Call participants

Using Calls requires the Nearo Desktop App installed on a Mac or Windows computer. Both participants must have the app installed and a Nearo account.
