Gather Presence Inc.
i personally use the web page so it's 100% more comfortable because i don't need to have so much applications open, plus i can rapidly silence the page if i need.I can share screen, documents, have a video call very easily with any people if i want because if the space is free i can only share a URL and that person can access to the world in Gather Town

Having a virtual or online meeting or training that needs multiple attendees, I would recommend using GoTo Training. Was able to see multiple cameras and have multiple people on a training at once. The best feature was able to record trainings and be able to watch them at a later time.

User friendly, easy to follow and enjoy having the ability to record meetings for viewing pleasure. People who are more technology challenged were able to figure out GoTo Training easily and could understand directions over the phone or using the app for the first time.

Alternatives Considered
Gather Presence Inc.
- Free tier option
- Although all meet applications share the same functionalities, I can use gather quickly and easily. Only from a browser tab and anyone with that link can access my space.
- If security is required, you can count on blocking spaces so that unauthorized people do not enter.
- There is a conversation history and any documents can be sent in that chat

Prefer GoTo Training over Skype for Business. Currently using Microsoft Teams and prefer the ability to set up appointments directly with Outlook and emails
