GoToMeeting

It’s been great to listen in while sitting outside and still have access to the screen and chat, etc if needed. So it provides more functionality than if I were just calling in on the phone line. If a connection is not good, it will give the option to switch to a phone line. So far I have not had to do that, but it is nice to have the option and to know that the app is looking out for my having the best experience possible. I do need to copy/paste the meeting number to join without logging into GoMeeting, so if you don’t want an account (which anyway is free at the basic level) or you may not have time or want to log in, then you will need to keep that meeting number handy. You can usually copy/paste from the email invitation from the organizer or it may be listed on the organizer’s web page.

GoToMeeting is a great service. (My company switched after suffering through WebEx.) However, the iOS app could use some improvements: 1. It doesn’t multitask well. It can’t run in the background long, which I could’ve sworn was possible with WebEx’s iOS app. It also doesn’t work with Split View on iPad e.g. preventing one from using the Notes app side-by-side. 2. On iPad, there doesn’t seem to be a way to prevent it from using the Internet for audio by default. This is really annoying since I typically dial-in. There also isn’t an in-app control to switch audio sources. 3. While screen sharing from iPad it would be nice to be able to move the position of the webcam window of myself, and suppress sharing iOS Notifications. Overall, the GoToMeeting service is so much better than WebEx that these nitpicks with their iOS app are tolerable. P.S. Hopefully, the GoToMeeting iOS app will stop nagging me to write a review now that I’ve written this one…

I just got off of a conference call using GoToMeeting while sitting out here at the farm show. Audio was really good, was unable to use the video function will look forwar I just got off of a conference call using GoToMeeting or sitting out here at the farm show. Audio was really good, There was no need to use the video option but I do look forward to using that to the app because it has been very convenient and easy to use. Do you to the phone call I had to do was open the app in the invitation was already on the main screen. Integrating that with Calendar to be able to pull that up made it real easy to join a call and just get to work

Overall decent - I seem to have more trouble getting the phone call audio connected with this vs. other providers’ mobile apps. It seems silly giving a review of the mobile app, since it’s the only option if your company uses GTM as its online meeting service. One “feature” that really bugs me - and that I really hope can be made optional - is the requirement to have the app on top in order to stay connected to the meeting. Often I will be doing other activities while listening to a call (email, reviewing a PDF, etc. ) and if I ignore the “Please return to GoToMeeting or the app will be closed” message, I lose the screenshare connection. Very frustrating. Can you please make this optional? Maybe a setting for timeout period vs the hard-coded 60 second timeout?

This is a pretty perfect app for having meetings. You can share screens, see attendees, message, and talk, as well as mute (organizer can also mute others if they can't mute themselves for some reason). I just wish they hadn't changed the attendee list recently - it used to put you in the list of attendees, but now you're at the top of the screen. I don't find that a helpful, especially as we try to go around in alphabetical order by screen name in my meetings. It would be nice to have that as an option or go back to the way it was. But other than that - pretty perfect, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for making such a great app!!!😊
