How to cancel GoToMeeting in malaysia: your legal rights and step-by-step guide
What GoToMeeting is and why you might need to cancel
GoToMeeting is a cloud-based video conferencing and screen-sharing platform operated by LogMeIn, a US-registered software company. You pay a recurring monthly or annual subscription to host online meetings with up to 150 participants (Professional plan) or 250 participants (Business plan). Unlike free video tools, GoToMeeting charges organisers-not attendees-meaning you only incur costs if you are hosting meetings regularly.
Many Malaysian users subscribe to test the service during the free 14-day trial, then discover they are locked into a paid annual cycle. Others find they no longer need the service because their workplace adopted a competitor or they shifted to internal communication tools. Regardless of your reason, Yafee has helped thousands of consumers understand their cancellation rights under Malaysian consumer law and execute the process without hidden charges.
How GoToMeeting billing works in malaysia
GoToMeeting does not display Malaysia-specific pricing pages or ringgit-denominated plans on its public site. Pricing is shown in US dollars, then converted at checkout. Based on current exchange rates (approximately 1 USD = RM4.72), the Professional plan costs around RM66 per month (annual billing), while the Business plan costs around RM90 per month (annual billing), before applicable taxes.
Crucially, even though plans display a monthly rate, they are billed annually upfront. This means if you cancel partway through your subscription year, you may not receive a refund-a point covered in detail in the refund section below. Furthermore, if you signed up through the Apple App Store or Google Play, your subscription is managed by those platforms, not directly by GoToMeeting, and cancellation rules differ.
Which users typically cancel
You might be cancelling for several reasons: the service proved too expensive, your team migrated to Microsoft Teams or Zoom, you no longer host regular meetings, or you signed up during a free trial and want to avoid unexpected charges. Whatever the trigger, your right to cancel is protected under Malaysian consumer law, provided you follow the correct process and meet any applicable notice periods.
| Reason to cancel |
Typical timeline |
Refund likelihood |
| Free trial expired and you do not want paid plan |
Within 7 days of free trial end |
High if cancelled before first charge |
| Annual plan no longer fits your budget |
30-60 days before renewal |
Low; annual plans rarely refund mid-term |
| Service does not meet your needs |
Within 14 days of purchase |
Moderate; depends on consumer claim under CPA 1999 |
| Company breached service terms or failed to deliver |
Anytime after breach |
High; you have grounds to dispute |
Your legal rights under malaysian consumer protection law
Your right to cancel GoToMeeting in Malaysia is underpinned by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999), enforced by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP). This legislation grants you a 14-day cooling-off period for distance contracts-purchases made without face-to-face negotiation, such as online software subscriptions.
The 14-day cooling-off right
Under section 50 of the CPA 1999, you have the right to cancel any distance contract within 14 days from the date the contract is formed, without providing a reason. For GoToMeeting, the contract forms when you complete payment and receive a confirmation email-not when you first visit the site or open your account. Consequently, your 14-day window begins from that confirmation date, not from when you first activate the free trial.
If you signed up during the 14-day free trial with no payment collected upfront, the cooling-off period begins only when you pay for your first subscription month. In other words, you must initiate cancellation within 14 days of your first charge to invoke this right. Yafee recommends you save your confirmation email as proof of the purchase date, because you may need to dispute any refund denial with KPDNHEP later.
Refund entitlements under the CPA 1999
If you cancel within the 14-day period, you are entitled to a full refund of all sums paid, minus any costs incurred by GoToMeeting for performance of the service. In practice, this means GoToMeeting can deduct a reasonable charge for the days you actually used the platform, but only if you expressly authorised performance to begin before the 14-day period ended. If you cancelled before using the service substantially, you should receive a full refund.
After the 14-day window, your right to cancel depends on the subscription terms you agreed to and whether GoToMeeting breached the contract. Many SaaS providers in Malaysia allow cancellation anytime, but refund entitlements vanish. If the service failed to meet the description on the sales page-for instance, if the platform did not support the participant limit promised-you may claim a breach and seek recovery under section 49 of the CPA 1999.
Your legal position when cancelling
If you cancel within 14 days of your first charge: You have a statutory right to cancel and receive a refund (minus reasonable performance costs). GoToMeeting must process your refund within 30 days. You do not need to provide a reason.
If you cancel after 14 days: Your right to cancel depends on GoToMeeting's terms of service. However, if the service failed to deliver what was advertised or you can demonstrate the platform was unfit for purpose, you may claim a breach and pursue compensation through KPDNHEP or small claims court.
If you paid via App Store or Google Play: Your contract is with Apple or Google, not GoToMeeting. You must cancel through the relevant platform and appeal to them for refunds, though their own policies may differ from the CPA 1999.
Methods to cancel GoToMeeting: which route applies to you
GoToMeeting offers multiple subscription entry points, and your cancellation method depends on where you signed up. You must identify your subscription source before you proceed, because cancelling through the wrong channel may leave your account active and your payment method charged.
Check where you subscribed
Open your email inbox and search for a receipt or confirmation from GoToMeeting. The sender address should be [email protected] or [email protected]. If you find an email from Apple ID, Google Play, or your credit card issuer, it confirms you subscribed through an app store rather than the GoToMeeting website. This distinction is critical because each path has different cancellation steps.
- Check your email for the original purchase confirmation.
- Log in to your bank or credit card account and search the transaction description.
- Open the GoToMeeting app (if you use one) and look for "Manage Subscription" or "Billing" in the Settings menu.

Step-by-step guide to cancel GoToMeeting
Follow these precise steps in order. Read each step fully before executing it, and do not skip ahead, because skipping a verification step may leave your subscription active.
Step 1: log in to your GoToMeeting account
- Go to
www.gotomeeting.com and click Sign In in the top right corner.
- Enter your email address and password.
- If you see a two-factor authentication (2FA) prompt, enter the code sent to your email or phone.
- Once logged in, you should see your account dashboard with meeting history and billing information.
Step 2: locate your subscription and billing page
- In your account dashboard, look for a menu option labelled Billing, Plan, Subscription, or Account. This is often in the top menu bar or under a profile icon.
- Click on that option to open the subscription management page.
- You should now see your current plan name (Professional or Business), billing frequency (annual or monthly), and your next renewal date.
- Screenshot or note your renewal date, because this is your deadline to cancel if you want to avoid the next charge.
Step 3: initiate the cancellation request
- On your subscription page, locate a button or link labelled Cancel Plan, Downgrade, Change Plan, or End Subscription.
- Click that button. GoToMeeting may redirect you to a support form or a confirmation page.
- If you see a form asking "Why are you cancelling?", select the reason that best matches your situation. You are not obliged to provide detailed feedback, but doing so can help GoToMeeting improve its service for other users.
- Continue until you reach a final confirmation screen that states something like "Your subscription will end on [date]".
Step 4: confirm the cancellation and retain proof
- Read the final confirmation screen carefully. It should clearly state the effective cancellation date and confirm that no further charges will be applied after that date.
- Screengrab or save a PDF of this confirmation page.
- Check your email inbox for a cancellation confirmation email from GoToMeeting (or from [email protected]). This email is your legal proof of cancellation.
- If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, contact GoToMeeting support to verify the cancellation was processed.
Step 5: verify cancellation in your account (three days later)
- Wait 3 business days, then log back into your GoToMeeting account.
- Navigate to your subscription or billing page again.
- Confirm that your plan now shows as Cancelled or that the renewal date has been removed.
- If your account still shows an active subscription, contact GoToMeeting support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email and ask why the cancellation was not processed.
If you subscribed through apple app store or google play
Cancelling an app store subscription requires you to manage the subscription through the store itself, not through GoToMeeting's website. Furthermore, your contract is with Apple or Google, not with LogMeIn, so refund policies follow the store's terms, not necessarily the CPA 1999.
Cancel an iOS (Apple app store) subscription
- Open Settings on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your Apple ID profile picture at the top of the Settings menu.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- Find GoToMeeting in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap GoToMeeting and then select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation. Apple will display your final access date.
- Save a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation as your receipt.
Cancel an android (Google play) subscription
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right corner.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find GoToMeeting in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap GoToMeeting and then select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm your cancellation. Google will confirm your final billing date.
- Save a screenshot of the confirmation screen as your proof.
After cancellation via an app store, you retain access until the end of your billing period. No further charges are applied after that date. If you are charged again after cancellation, contact the app store support team (not GoToMeeting) to dispute the charge.
Timeline and what to expect after cancellation
Once you cancel, your GoToMeeting account enters a wind-down phase. Understanding this timeline helps you prepare for loss of access and manage any final meetings or data exports.
Days 1 to 3: cancellation confirmation
You should receive a confirmation email from GoToMeeting within 24 hours of cancellation. If you do not, Yafee recommends you contact GoToMeeting support at [email protected] or call 1-800-263-6317 to verify the cancellation was logged. Keep this confirmation email in a safe folder for at least 12 months, because you may need it to dispute a future charge.
Days 4 to 30: access remains active
Your GoToMeeting account remains active and functional until the end of your current billing period. You can still host and attend meetings, share screens, and access all features of your paid plan during this window. Use this time to download any meeting recordings, export reports, or gather contact information for attendees if you plan to move to another platform.
Final billing date: access terminates
On the date shown in your cancellation confirmation (usually your original renewal date), GoToMeeting automatically downgraded your account to a free tier. You lose access to any paid features, such as the ability to host more than 100 participants or schedule recurring meetings. Your account may remain visible in GoToMeeting's system, but you cannot use it for organising paid meetings.
After the cancellation date: no further charges
You should not be charged again after your cancellation date. However, if a charge appears on your credit card or bank statement more than 3 days after your access termination, this is a billing error. Contact GoToMeeting support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email and request a refund. If GoToMeeting refuses, escalate the dispute to your bank (chargeback) or to KPDNHEP, the Malaysian consumer protection authority.
Refunds: what you can expect and how to claim
Your refund entitlement depends on when you cancel relative to your purchase date and the terms of your subscription agreement.
Refunds within the 14-day cooling-off period
If you cancel within 14 days of your first charge, you are entitled to a refund under section 50 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999. GoToMeeting must process this refund within 30 days of your cancellation request. The refund amount is your full payment minus any costs incurred for service delivery. In most cases, if you cancelled before hosting more than one or two meetings, you receive a full refund.
To claim this refund, reply to your cancellation confirmation email and explicitly cite the 14-day cooling-off right under the CPA 1999. State your purchase date, cancellation date, and the amount you paid. Request that GoToMeeting process a refund to your original payment method within 14 days.
Refunds after 14 days
After the 14-day period, GoToMeeting has no statutory obligation to refund your payment unless the service failed to deliver as advertised or you can demonstrate the platform was unfit for purpose. Most SaaS providers, including GoToMeeting, retain all fees for subscriptions cancelled mid-term, especially if the plan was billed annually.
Nevertheless, if you can evidence a material failure-for example, the platform did not support the participant count promised on the sales page, or meetings crashed repeatedly-you may pursue a claim for breach of contract. Document all failures with screenshots, dates, and times, then contact KPDNHEP to lodge a formal complaint.
Refund processing and timing
If GoToMeeting approves your refund, the funds return to your original payment method. This typically takes 5 to 10 business days for credit cards and 7 to 14 days for bank transfers. If you do not see the refund within 15 business days, contact your bank to confirm it was not blocked or delayed by fraud filters.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Most cancellation issues stem from user errors rather than company obstruction, and the good news is that all of them are preventable with the right checklist.
Cancelling through the wrong channel
If you subscribed via the App Store but cancel through the GoToMeeting website, your subscription remains active and you are charged again. Conversely, if you subscribed on the web and cancel through an app store, the web subscription continues. Always verify your subscription source (email receipt or payment statement) before cancelling, and use the matching cancellation route. Yafee has documented numerous cases where users inadvertently maintained duplicate subscriptions because they cancelled through one channel while the other remained active.
Missing the cancellation deadline
GoToMeeting bills annually, not monthly, even if the pricing page shows a monthly rate. If you miss your renewal date by even one day, you are charged for another full year. Set a calendar reminder for 30 days before your renewal date and cancel by that date to avoid an unwanted charge. Check your renewal date regularly in your account portal; do not assume it is 12 months from when you signed up.
Assuming an automated email will confirm cancellation
Not all cancellation requests generate an immediate confirmation email. Some are held for manual review. If you do not receive a confirmation within 24 hours, log in to your account and verify the cancellation status yourself. If the subscription still shows as active, contact support to confirm why. Do not assume silence means success.
Not saving proof of cancellation
Screenshot every page in the cancellation process, particularly the final confirmation screen that states the cancellation date and confirms no future charges. If GoToMeeting disputes your cancellation later or charges you again, these screenshots are your evidence. Store them in a safe email folder or cloud drive with your receipt emails.
Downgrading instead of cancelling
GoToMeeting may offer to downgrade your plan rather than cancel outright. Downgrading (moving from Professional to a free account) keeps you subscribed to some level of service, but it should not incur further charges. Ensure the downgrade confirmation explicitly states no further charges will be applied. If you want to cancel entirely and use no GoToMeeting service, select cancel, not downgrade.
Escalation: what to do if GoToMeeting refuses to cancel or refund
If GoToMeeting does not process your cancellation within 5 business days or denies your refund without justification, you have recourse under Malaysian consumer law.
Step 1: document everything and contact support in writing
Send a formal email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Request - [Your Email] - [Renewal Date]". Attach screenshots of your account showing the cancellation attempt, your purchase receipt, and your cancellation confirmation (if you received one). Request in writing that GoToMeeting process your cancellation and confirm the date it will take effect. Set a deadline of 7 days for a response.
Step 2: escalate to GoToMeeting's parent company, LogMeIn
If GoToMeeting support does not respond within 7 days, escalate to LogMeIn's corporate support office. Visit support.logmein.com and submit a complaint through their official channel. Include all prior correspondence and request escalation to the cancellation or billing team.
Step 3: file a complaint with KPDNHEP
If LogMeIn or GoToMeeting does not resolve your issue within 14 days of your written request, lodge a formal complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP). You can file online at www.kpdnhep.gov.my or visit your nearest state consumer protection office. Provide your email address, the dates of all communications, your purchase amount, and copies of all evidence (receipts, screenshots, and cancellation requests). KPDNHEP has the authority to compel GoToMeeting to refund unauthorised charges or cancel your subscription if the company is in breach of the Consumer Protection Act 1999.
Step 4: dispute the charge with your bank
If GoToMeeting charged you again after cancellation, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and request a chargeback or dispute. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence. Most banks will reverse unauthorised subscription charges if you dispute them within 60 days of the charge. This action does not preclude a complaint to KPDNHEP, and you can pursue both in parallel.
Pricing summary and cost impact of cancellation
Understanding GoToMeeting's pricing structure helps you calculate whether an early cancellation is worth the potential refund dispute.
| Plan |
Monthly rate (approx. MYR) |
Annual cost (approx. MYR) |
Max participants |
| Professional (recommended) |
RM66 |
RM792 |
150 |
| Business |
RM90 |
RM1,080 |
250 |
| Free tier (no hosting) |
RM0 |
RM0 |
Up to 100 (attend only) |
If you are locked into an annual Professional plan (RM792 per year) and can demonstrate the service failed to meet advertised standards within the first 14 days, pursue a refund claim. The potential recovery (up to RM792) justifies the effort. However, if you are cancelling at month 6 of a 12-month cycle for simple non-use, refund likelihood is low, and your best strategy is to prevent future charges by cancelling before the renewal date.
Practical checklist before and after cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you do not miss any critical step.
Before you cancel
- Locate and save your original purchase confirmation email from
[email protected].
- Note your current plan name, billing frequency (monthly or annual), and renewal date from your account portal.
- Screenshot your account dashboard showing your subscription status.
- Download or export any meeting recordings, reports, or participant lists you may need after cancellation.
- Check whether you subscribed on the web, Apple App Store, or Google Play.
- If applicable, notify attendees or colleagues that you are discontinuing GoToMeeting.
During cancellation
- Log into the same account you used to sign up.
- Navigate to Billing or Subscription settings.
- Click the Cancel or End Subscription button and follow all prompts to completion.
- Screenshot the final confirmation page showing the cancellation effective date.
- Do not close your browser until you see a final confirmation message.
After cancellation
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from GoToMeeting within 24 hours.
- If no confirmation arrives, log back into your account and verify the subscription status changed.
- Contact support if the subscription still shows as active 3 days after cancellation.
- Set a reminder 3 days before your final billing date to verify no charge is applied.
- Monitor your bank statement for 30 days after the cancellation date to catch any erroneous charges.
- If you are charged after cancellation, contact your bank for a chargeback and file a complaint with KPDNHEP.
Why cancelling early matters and how to stay protected
GoToMeeting's annual billing model means a single missed cancellation deadline can trap you in another 12-month cycle, costing RM792 or more. Yafee emphasises proactive cancellation-do not wait until the last day of your free trial or the day before renewal. Initiate cancellation at least 30 days before your renewal date to give yourself a buffer for technical issues or support delays.
Furthermore, document every step of your cancellation journey. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects your right to cancel distance contracts, but enforcement depends on evidence. Screengrab confirmation pages, save emails, and retain bank statements. If a dispute arises, you need proof that you acted correctly and GoToMeeting failed to honour your cancellation.
Many Malaysian users worry that cancelling will trigger surprise charges or hidden fees. This is understandable, but it is unfounded under the CPA 1999. Once you cancel successfully, no further charges are legitimate. If you are charged again, this is a billing error, and you have the right to recover those funds through your bank, KPDNHEP, or small claims court.
If cancellation requires intervention or you need to dispute a charge, use these official GoToMeeting support channels.

Escalation to malaysian consumer authorities
If GoToMeeting does not respond to your support request within 14 days, or if the company refuses to cancel or refund you unjustly, file a formal complaint with KPDNHEP:

Final summary and next steps
Cancelling GoToMeeting in Malaysia is straightforward if you act within the 14-day cooling-off period, use the correct cancellation channel (web, App Store, or Google Play), and save proof of cancellation. Your right to cancel and pursue a refund is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999, and KPDNHEP is your escalation route if GoToMeeting refuses to cooperate.
The most common mistake is cancelling through one channel while your subscription remains active on another. Prevent this by verifying your subscription source (check your purchase receipt email) and cancelling through the matching platform. Second, do not miss your renewal date. Set a calendar reminder 30 days before renewal and cancel by that deadline to avoid another 12-month charge.
If GoToMeeting charges you again after cancellation, or if the company denies your refund without justification, dispute the charge with your bank (chargeback) and file a complaint with KPDNHEP simultaneously. Document all communications and attach evidence (emails, screenshots, receipts). Most disputes are resolved in your favour within 60 days.
