GoToMeeting features


GoToMeeting has a long list of features that make of it a great alternative for video meetings. The most popular features are:

  • Unlimited meeting recording and transcription: you can easily record and save the meetings so those who missed the meeting can watch it at a later stage thanks to their cloud recording. They also offer a transcription feature that takes notes during the meeting.
  • Personal meeting room: you can create a unique link for a meeting that never changes, which means that preparing and attending recurring meetings is slightly easier. This is a great remote collaboration feature.
  • Mobile conferencing: on the go? Don´t worry, you still can create and host your meetings from mobile devices with GoToMeeting.
  • Conference room equipment: they can help you turn your meeting rooms into real video conferencing hubs. (This is offered by their solution “GoToRoom”).
  • Screen sharing: share your screen from any device with the meeting participants in case you want to present slides or share some audiovisual content.
  • “Call me”: GoToMeeting will automatically call participants so they can easily join just by answering a phone call. No pins or codes required.
  • Voice commands: just ask SIRI to get you into the meeting. She will do it in a heartbeat. Webinar hosting and planning: thanks to their solution “GoToWebinar” you'd be able to create incredible set ups for your online webinars.
