# Supported providers

Mago supports joining meetings from many videoconferencing providers. This is possible through official SDK integrations as well as through the providers’ web or desktop clients.

{% hint style="info" %}
Mago does not include any desktop clients from third-party video conferencing providers. If you prefer to use a desktop client instead of the web client, your IT administrator is responsible for installing it.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
For video conferencing providers that are already integrated into Mago through an official SDK, such as Zoom, there is no need to install the desktop client. Installing the desktop client can conflict with the SDK and may cause unexpected issues.
{% endhint %}

By integrating with the official clients, whether web, desktop or SDK, Mago provides all available features for supported video conferencing providers, always kept up to date. The table below summarizes the supported providers and the available options to join or host meetings.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Guest join** is free and **does not require any user or room license**.

Starting a meeting as a **host (instant meeting)**, however, **requires a user or room license** for the specific video conferencing system. See the [Broken link](https://kb.mago.io/requirements/video-conferencing/broken-reference "mention") page for more details.
