Start Here! Fathom Quick Start Guide
Welcome to Fathom! If you haven't already signed up, please go to fathom.video to create an account.
1️⃣ Connect Your Calendar
You can connect Fathom to your Google or Microsoft calendar!
2️⃣ Authorize Fathom
Next, you’ll be prompted to authorize Fathom. Fathom will sync with your calendar events to let you know when to join meetings.
3️⃣ Personalize Your Account
After you click Continue, you’ll be asked a few questions to help us tailor your account to your use case. These questions will help us connect your account to the right CRM, too!
4️⃣ Download the Desktop App
The desktop app has many added benefits, like adding Fathom on calls when you are not the host. We recommend using the desktop app so you have access to all of the great features Fathom has to offer.
Find download links for Windows and Mac here.
Note: While it’s possible to use Fathom without the desktop app—by using the Fathom Zoom app and the Google Chrome extension—downloading the desktop app is still a required part of the onboarding process and cannot be skipped.
As a workaround, users may choose to download it once during onboarding and uninstall it afterward if preferred. That said, we highly recommend using the desktop app for all calls to ensure the best experience and full feature access.
5️⃣ Open the Desktop App
To find the app on your computer, search for the "Fathom" application and open it. You'll be prompted to sign in to your Fathom account.
6️⃣ Test It Out
Once you sign in via the desktop app, you can use Fathom on your next call!
