Guests can join a Nearo Room from any device using a browser — no account, login, or app download required.
What you need to join
To join a Nearo Room as a guest, you need:
The Room link from your host
An up-to-date version of Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge
A working microphone
An internet connection
You do not need a Nearo account, and you do not need to install any software.
ℹ️ You can join from a computer, tablet, iPad, Chromebook, or phone.
Joining with a Room link
Your host will send you a Room link — a web address you can click to open the Room in your browser.
Click the Room link in the message or email from your host.
The Room join page will open in your browser.
Enter your name when prompted.
Adjust your video and audio before you join.
Click Join Room when you are done.
Waiting to be admitted
After you join, you will wait briefly until the host lets you in.
You will see a message confirming that you are waiting for the host.
The host will admit you when they are ready.
Once admitted, the session will start automatically.
🔔 If the host is not yet in the Room, you may need to wait until they open it on their end.
What you can do in a Room
As a guest, you can:
Use audio and video to communicate with the host
See the host's screen when the host shares it
Control the host's screen using remote control, when the host is sharing (computers and Chromebooks only)
Remote control is supported on computers (Mac or Windows) and Chromebooks. It is not currently supported on tablets or phones.
🔔 Guests cannot share their own screen in a Room. Only the host can share a screen.
Moving your video on the screen
You can position your video on any part of the screen. For example, you can place your video right under your webcam at the top so it is easier to make eye contact.
Click the three dots.
In the Video Position section, select Top, Bottom, Left, or Right.
💡 You can also hide your own video from yourself and hide the controls during a session. See Using video in Nearo.
