(1-25 of 47)Solid and affordable product, especially for remote access to computers, but just pack as much punch as a lot of its competitors
- Super easy remote control of computer for authorized individuals
- Easy to join and share screens/information
- Trusted, secure
- Has become somewhat niche since Zoom and other applications can now provide similar built-in support
- Single/primary use makes it somewhat irrelevant in current space
- Limitations as far as types of conference interactions and video support
- With Join.me starting and ending virtual meetings is easy.
- The quality of video and audio is amazing.
- Join.me supports many participants during an web conferencing session.
- Some times Join.me lags more so when the internet is poor.
- The user interface is lacking - it could better.
- The tool is not the most affordable.
One scenario where Join.me is not appropriate is when some participants are based in areas with poor internet coverage because the software lags and this can be annoying.
- Screen sharing
- Remote computer control from anywhere
- Easy to install and get up and running
- Certain features can be a little hard to find
- Not the best user interface compared to some of the more expansive competitors
Great tool, but not the best out there
- Join.me makes it easy to join meetings quickly
- Join.me makes it easy to set up different accounts
- Join.me has features that makes it easy to engage and focus on the content being presented
- The video quality can be improved
- Adding more engagement features like Zoom
- Can be better at key integrations like with SalesForce
Join.me is great to use
- Having last minute meetings
- Easily create invites
- Easily send out or edit invites
- Sometimes meetings don't connect
Meeting with ease
- Easy access to the product
- Very user friendly, intuitive product
- Great for virtual meetings
- Easy connection to utilize product
- I remember times when using the link that someone sent didn't work
- It wasn't always consistent
Doesn't work as well when there is a large number of meeting participants. Found that the links didn't always work.
Don't Join.me
- Free.
- Easy to use.
- Limited features.
- Slow at times.
Join.me has been good
- It hosts meetings really well with out being overly complicated
- The install process was simple not too many questions
- It seemed to work the first time with any errors.
- I wish the pricing was more competitive with similar programs
- I wish it worked on the Amazon platform it would be helpful for tablet users
- I wish it had a plugin for Safari
Join.Me - would have, could have, should have
- The platform is visually appealing
- Connection is stable most of the time
- The content sharing feature can be sharpened up a lot to make it more reliable
- An option to combine users who are using their computer video and a phone for audio would also create less confusion on larger calls
Join.me - A Video Conferencing Tool For The Rest of Us
- No need to download anything to get started. Once you sign up you can get started from within your browser. This is probably the single best feature, its a get up and go solution for video conferencing and you do not need any software for it to work.
- The one click join a meeting URL is genius. Users who struggle with remembering passwords or invites can just click a link and immediately participate in a meeting which means one email and a couple of clicks and a meeting can start.
- Good control features - As the main user, you have many control features including deciding who can speak, annotations, screen sharing easily.
- Screen Recordings to the Cloud - This can save on time when you have had a long conference, you can save a recording to the cloud and download it later.
- There is no free tier version beyond a free trial. It would be good if there was a free version of some sort.
- If you have a large meeting, it can be a bit unstable, whether this is connectivity or the platform itself is hard to say.
- Mobile Apps do not offer the same experience as the web experience, you can find yourself kicked out of a meeting while other participants may still be in the same meeting. Some synergy between the web and mobile apps would be great.
A feature-rich audio conferencing software.
- Join.me has provided us many features that made it possible for us to communicate.
- Another plus point is its staff which is pretty good ‘professional and highly supportive and is always there for help.
- We can also connect with people outside our region and with its advanced functionality we have found it as the best audio conference software than any other software of its type.
- it has made our audio meeting experience very effective.
- There should be a complete guide to understand its features before installation because if one feature will be missed then, we can’t get them working properly.
- Furthermore, there should be high-quality internet for getting its function and it won’t work without good network coverage.
- I think its interface is a little hard for beginners and is not that user friendly.
A Meeting You Won’t Mind Joining
- Screen sharing works very well and especially in today’s climate can help make meetings far more effective.
- I’ve used other platforms like Microsoft Teams that have been incredibly difficult to reliably connect to calls or stay connected. Join.Me has always been stable when in use and very rarely has any hiccups in connecting which is extremely important when conference calls are the only way to communicate.
- The UI is intuitive and user-friendly. It is extremely easy for a new user to pick up and use effectively quickly. I’ve used other platforms where some features are not apparent and you may completely miss, while Join.Me’s UI is easy to navigate and learn quickly.
- Great recording feature which I used for creating product demos that could be shared with our clients so they can see a prospect's question and reactions to different features of the software I am demoing.
- In my experience when using the mobile app the quality drops when on cellular data, even with a strong signal. Given the current challenges, teams Face ID like to see the mobile capabilities get some improvement as it doesn’t seem to be optimized when not on a PC or wireless network.
Great conferencing option in today's world!
- Video conferencing is very smooth through the process, easy to navigate.
- Option for audio only really helps when video is not needed.
- Customer Support is a phone call away and easy accessible.
- The user navigation of the tool itself can be a bit more user-friendly for non-IT.
- Price point can be found elsewhere for cheaper.
- More participants can cause some lagging.
My favorite video conferencing tool!
- Ease of Use
- Sound Quality
- Fewer Features
- Quality decreases with too many participants
Hey, look what I'm doing!
- Very clear visual engagement.
- Smooth transition of sharing control among users.
- Audio controls -- we prefer to use phones for voice contact during screen sharing.
Join me in a meeting any time, anywhere
- Easy to get potential clients on the demonstration from their site.
- User-friendly platform.
- Customized emails to send over to people with calendar invites attached as well.
- Lag time - I understand it depends on the internet access by both parties but either way can be extremely frustrating.
- Recording a demonstration could be easier.
Join.me gets an A+
- User-friendly.
- Cost-effective.
- No learning curve.
- Make it easier to use on mobile apps.
- Easier installation so it can act as a web add-on.
- Cheaper options are available.
Join.me is a great addition to our Training team
The business problems it addresses is clarity in meetings and training because we all get the same information at the same time.
- The Join.me app is user-friendly.
- The Join.me app is intuitive, an example is navigating from assigning someone to take command of the screen is just a click and to retrieve control back is also just a click.
- The connectivity and setting up meetings is practically done for you...copy and paste the link in an email for the fellow participants to join and connect.
- I don't have any input on this. I've been happy with everything thus far.
Join.me packs the bang in the buck.
- Users don't need to install software to join a meeting. This is a tremendous asset. We are able to just send a link to a customer and they can click to join.
- Join.me can record a video of the meeting.
- Excellent control over the group. You mute individuals or the whole group and share the presenter role quickly.
- Lags *IF* the guest has a poor internet connection and you are doing audio + screen share through the computer. If you do audio via the phone then it's not an issue. By "lag" I meant that when you show a slide, the guest may be seeing the prior slide for a few seconds.
- Lags when you have a large audience. Once I ran a webinar with 200+ people join and once I got past 75 guests people were not able to connect to me anymore.
Worth using when collaborating
- No installation requirements
- Multi platform support
- Low bandwidth requirements
- Ease of use
- Good support
- Sometimes configuring custom setups has been troublesome on users' machines (weird mic setups etc)
- Screen sharing
- Joint screen sharing and conference line
- Requesting access to Remote Desktop you're viewing
- N/A

Join.me in using this great conferencing tool!
- Simple to set up.
- No software needed.
- It's easy to use and share with others.
- Stable connection and connection lags sometimes or delays.
- Reporting for participants.
You'll want to Join(.me) in!
- Ease of use - the Join.me product and platform are very easy to use, even if it is someone's first time.
- Trial option - the company offers a free trial option, which is great if a company isn't sure how it would work for them - they can test it out without making an investment.
- Help section - the company's help section is really useful and it's fairly easy to search if you need help figuring something out.
- No password protection - you can't protect a meeting with a password that you only share with intended participants. Instead, participants have to "knock" to be let in - but that means someone has to be on the lookout for those requests.
- Limits to the whiteboard - the whiteboard functionality is limited to tablets, which is a bummer if you have many participants on their work desktop computers or laptops.
- Screen sharing - sometimes it won't work on particular browsers.
Grab a meeting - QUICK!
- Quick launch - start your meeting with your custom URL at a moments notice
- Good audio - join using your computer audio to be 'in the meeting' quickly with clear tones
- Quick join - join.me saves your most frequently joined meetings in the modal, so you can type in a colleagues name to jump on their meeting right away.
- First-time download - sometimes our customers have trouble joining that first meeting and since I can't see what they see, I don't know how to help.
Join.Me - Good for Small Groups and Limited Use
- Easily recognizable by clients
- Easy to share meeting code
- Can create a free account to demo
- Audio quality
- Video quality
