Create a guest account in Google Chat

You can join another organisation's Google Chat with a Google Workspace guest account. At no cost to you, collaboration and communication with other organisations is easy. To join, you must be invited.

Tip: If you're part of a Workspace and want to invite a guest to your Chat, you can send an invitation.

What you can do with a guest account

Once you create an account, your invitation lets you chat directly with the person that invited you and join any approved spaces.

• Google Chat: Use chats and spaces to coordinate and communicate.
• Google Meet: Join huddles or Google Meet calls, or access Meet sessions that are shared through links.
• Google Drive: Open and edit shared Google Drive files like Docs, Sheets or Slides.

Tip: Guest accounts can't use chat in Gmail.

Create a new guest account

1. Open the invitation email.
   • For the best experience, use a computer web browser to create your account.
   • Tip: If there's a sign-in conflict with a Chrome or Google Chat account that's already logged in:
     1. Copy the invitation link.
     2. Paste it into a new Incognito or private browsing window.
2. To accept the invitation, select Join the conversation.
3. To create your guest account, follow the on-screen instructions.

Tips:

• Save your guest account email ID and password for future use.
• You can find the guest account email ID in the invitation email if you didn't save it during setup.
