# Joining scheduled meetings
<a name="chime-join-scheduled-meeting"></a>

In Amazon Chime, you have a *scheduled meeting* when someone puts the meeting on a calendar and invites at least one attendee. If your administrator enables auto-calling, the meeting calls you just before it starts.

To join a scheduled meeting in the Amazon Chime mobile app, you first need to install the app from Google Play or the App Store. Once you sign in to the app, Amazon Chime notifies you when a meeting starts, even if you don't have the app open. You can join meetings while connected to a network, or by dialing in from your phone.

As a best practice, install your calendar app on your phone. That allows you to look up meeting invitations and schedule meetings. For more information about scheduling meetings, see [Scheduling meetings](mobile-scheduling.md).

**Note**  
If you're a host or delegate for a moderated meeting, the meeting only starts when you join. For more information, see [Scheduling moderated meetings](moderate-meeting.md).

# Joining a meeting
<a name="join-meeting-mobile-network"></a>

While connected to either a cellular or WiFi network, the Amazon Chime mobile app automatically uses your device's network connection to receive calls. 

If your Amazon Chime administrator enables auto-calling for a meeting, you hear a ring notification when the meeting starts. The **Answer** control also appears on your device's screen. The **Answer** control also displays when someone calls you for an instant meeting.

The following sets of steps explain different ways to join a meeting using auto-call.

**To join an auto-call meeting**

1. When the meeting calls, the **Join meeting** page appears and displays a set of meeting options. Choose **Answer**.

   —OR—

   Choose one of the options, such as **Mute**, and then choose **Answer**.
**Note**  
If you join a hosted meeting, you can't use the **Answer** control's options until the host joins.

1. If you miss the ring notification, or you accidentally decline the call, the **Meetings** page lists the current meeting in progress. You are also shown any meetings scheduled to start within the next 30 minutes. Choose a meeting to join it.
