It is a remote meeting and desktop sharing software that enables users to meet with other computer users, customers, clients, or colleagues via the internet in real time communication. GoToMeeting offers three main service products for their customers (a) GoToMeeting, (b) GoToWebinar, and (c) GoToTraining, which all range in price and the type of services provided by each.
Educators and Instructors within GoToMeeting can use the whiteboard feature to display text, graphics, and video clips as well as help to get learners within the meeting to collaborative effectively. Instructors and educators can also choose what to show their participants their entire desktop, multiple monitors, one or multiple programs from the whiteboard display window.
The drawing tools of the whiteboard within GoToMeeting allows educators and instructors to pinpoint what is being discussed on the whiteboard. It can allow instructors and educators to be able to highlight specific information and can also allow participants to draw and highlight information as well.
GoTomeeting integrates a standard text chat facilityinside its main control panel. The text chat component is easy and intuitive to use. Messages can be either sent publicly to all attendees (default setting) or privately to any selected participant. In GoToMeeting the text chat log can also be easily saved as a text file by using the "Save Chat Log" command in the File menu.
GoToMeeting has no formal polling feature. The question and answer section is conducted through the “CHAT” window. The Meeting Organizer can appoint a “Co-organizer” who can monitor the Chat Window for questions during the meeting.
