We regularly discontinue support for older operating systems once Microsoft and Apple discontinues their support of them. Therefore if you are a GoToWebinar organizer with an older operating system, then you will not be able to start sessions from these operating systems. Since it is not possible for you to host sessions using the browser-based Instant Join app, you will need to upgrade your operating system to download the latest build of the desktop app.
