Meetups

Find meetups

On a computer, click More at the bottom of the left menu and choose Meetups. On a phone, tap Explore at the bottom, then Meetups. You can also find meetups with Search.

At the top of the Meetups page, Meetups around you shows a map with pins for in-person meetups. Tap a pin to open that meetup. The map uses the location you set on Sikhami: tap Set location (or Change) to choose it. See Your location.

Under the tabs, choose Any price, Free or Paid to filter the list.

Each meetup card shows the date, Online or In person, the price for a paid meetup (for example "₹99 to join"), the name, the date and time, the category, how many people are going, and, for an in-person meetup, how far away it is once your location is set.

The meetup page

• The cover picture, the name, the category, and tags such as level, language, format, exams and subjects.
• A box with the date and time (or "Date to be announced"), how long it lasts, where it is (the address, or "Online meetup"), how many people are going, and the price for a paid meetup.
• Tap going in that box to see the list of people who are going.
• For an in-person meetup with a place: a map, a Directions button, and the distance from your location.
• The description, and Hosted by with the host's name.
• A row of buttons: Join (or Going), Chat once you have joined, a heart to like it, a bookmark to save it, Share, and a flag to Report it.

Online and in-person meetups

Online

The host adds a meeting link. Once you are going, Open meeting link shows on the meetup page. Tap it at the meetup time; it opens in a new tab. Only people who are going and the host can see this button.

In person

The address is in the box at the top of the meetup page. Tap Directions to open the route in Google Maps.

The public page of a meetup, for people who are not logged in, does not show the address or the meeting link. If someone sends you a meetup invite link, it opens a page that says "You have been invited to a meetup", with View this meetup on the web.

The meetup chat

Everyone who is going and the host share one group chat. Tap Chat on the meetup page, or open Messages and tap the Meetups tab. See Club and meetup chats.

Changes by the host

• If the host changes the date, the time or how long the meetup lasts, you get a Meetup Rescheduled notification.
• If the host takes the meetup down (unpublishes it), you get a Meetup Cancelled notification.
• If the host removes you, the meetup page says "The host removed you from this meetup". Tap Request to rejoin to ask to come back. While you wait, it says "Your request to rejoin is waiting for the host.", and you can tap Cancel request.
• If the host has blocked you from rejoining, the page says "You can't join this meetup".

Cancel your place

1. 1Open the meetup page.
2. 2Tap Going.
3. 3Sikhami asks "Leave this meetup?". Tap Leave.

You leave the meetup chat, and you no longer see the meeting link. If you paid and leave, you can join the same meetup again later without paying again. Leaving does not refund you by itself; see Refunds.
