Quick capability - Fantastic results
We use GlobalMeet for remote meetings because employees live across the entire county. I used to only utilize this service a couple times per month; however, due to the Covid-19 crisis it is now utilized several times each week.
Most of the meetings are conference call only but having the video feature is a fantastic option that we now take advantage of on a recounting basis.
- Setting up the meetings only takes a few seconds. I value this function.
- Global set works in conjunction with Microsoft office. This makes integration very simple.
- The system is user friendly and easy to understand...even for those without a lot of experience.
- I wish there was a green screen option when sharing my web camera.
- Having a feature to minimize feedback sound would be helpful.
- Providing the option to select only the participant videos I want to view would be great.

GlobalMeet review
Currently, we use it primarily as a phone bridge for conference calls. I found the interface to screen share difficult to use.
- Phonebridge
- Single click dialing
- Clear connections
- Outlook integration.
- Difficulty sharing call lines.
- Platform confusing.
The GlobalMeet software is typically used by colleagues who have a need to meet with a large number of people on a recorded call, or for ease of joining together multiple organizations on a teleconference. Typical uses are lunch and learn, presentations, collaborative information gathering, announcements, user story analysis, and workflow documentation.
- Easy recording tools
- Quickly access meeting information to copy and share
- Hosted application
- Recordings are of audio along with the shared content.
- Quality of video could use some improvement
- Addition of whiteboard functionality
- Ability to see who was sent an invitation accepts and declines from a meeting dashboard
- Ability to see an attendee list alongside the recording
- Ability to generate a transcript

GlobalMeet review
GlobalMeet was being used for our conference calls and screen sharing up until recently. It was good for these purposes and used for all status calls and other presentations to clients. It allowed us to share work we did and walk the client through it, making it easy for them to join the calls.
- Conference calls
- Screen-shares
- Presentations
- File uploads
- Consistency of service
- Ease of use

Great for large conference calls
GlobalMeet Collaboration is used primarily at my company to communicate between our development teams in China and New York on a weekly basis. We also use it to add remote access to meetings that some users are not able to attend. Users typically call in over the phone, but we’ll occasionally use the web meeting to share video.
- Provides a stable connection
- Allows for easy phone access
- Works well in browser
- Easy to setup meeting links
- Supports a lot of users
- User interface design
- Desktop application
- Video quality
- White board function

Meet on the go
We use GlobalMeet Collaboration to hold team meetings for sales forces. It allows us to have a large group on business planning calls to strategize without having to have people travel. Saves time and money.
- Instant and easy access to team meetings
- Can easily screen share to all participants
- Easy interface
- Sometimes system hangs up
- Needs way to track attendees

GlobalMeet Collaboration Review
We use GlobalMeet Collaboration for interior design presentations to clients, homebuilders. We are located in multiple locations as are our clients.
- Easy integration with Outlook
- Easy to navigate
- Missing ability to mark on the screen while presenting
- Many clients have trouble signing on, especially the first time using
We use GlobalMeet to conduct many of our teleconferences. Particularly while traveling, it is easy to set up calls with many different people. It is used by manufacturing, marketing, sales, and technical personnel. We typically do not use GlobalMeet when a presentation needs to be shared as it is not as convenient to set up as Teams.
- I conduct a weekly meeting with colleagues in EU through GlobalMeet to get updates on current plant performance.
- Our president conducts a monthly call on GlobalMeet to provide business status to manufacturing, commercial, sales, technical, and research personnel.
- During COVID-19, we utilize GlobalMeet for our daily operations meeting at our Pasadena, TX facility while everyone is working from home.
- As I mentioned before, it is not as convenient to use when sharing data as Teams so we tend to use Teams for sharing presentations.
- On occasion, there is an echo which makes it hard to hear others.
- I have noticed that when I use my computer as the device rather than my phone, it tends to drop more often than my phone (may be my internet connection).
We are using GlobalMeet for our phone conferencing needs. All teams are using it. It used for any large and important meetings. Townhalls twice a year for example.
- Great selection of local and toll-free numbers to call for participants.
- Exellent support.
- Trully a global reach company to benefit international business.
- Easy to use.
- Conference all options should be readily available (published) for all clients.
- Quick "cheat sheet" card should be provided to all phone conference customers.
- Some numbers might have busy signal and have to be redialed.
GlobalMeet Collaboration is used by all our end-users in both the business and IT. We were purchased by TIAA and have been integrating components of the company. We now have associates who work in many different locations that require online sharing and meetings.
- Support for a large number of users on a single call
- Easy access for both video and audio connections
- Ability to record the event for sharing and later review
- Would like to be able to manage more of the attendee window to reduce screen coverage when on a laptop
- Be able to change your picture or emoji on the fly per the call you are on
- Help identify when you have static or feedback from one end user to ask them to drop and dial back in
March 17, 2020
Simple and to the point
All staff managers use GlobalMeet for weekly meetings and one-time meetings. There would usually be between 4 to 15 people on a call at once.
- Ease of use
- Ease of payment
- If issues occur, it can be hard to reach someone.
- Cost

GlobalMeet Collaboration meets my meeting needs!
I use GlobalMeet Collaboration for weekly Webex/conference calls as well as whenever other things come up that need to be communicated via Webex to my team of sales professionals.
- Easy to schedule meetings
- Easy for participants to log into meetings
- Ease of use during meetings - change screen user and presenter, mute and unmute, enable/disable camera
- Haven't figured out how to stop new emails/updates from showing on my screen while presenting

GlobalMeet as a service
GlobalMeet is used by our entire organization to facilitate virtual meetings and conference calls. We use this product for training purposes through uploading PowerPoints or by using the screen share feature to demonstrate a live concept. When a web conference is not necessary we use the voice-only feature to provide a place to call in.
- Something that GlobalMeet does well is distributing a meeting to users. The system integrates well with our Outlook system and allows easy meeting distributions.
- GlobalMeet is good at providing an easy way to record web meetings. The feature works well and is easy to download after.
- GlobalMeet as a system seems to be lacking in a few areas. Particularly, I wish there was a better way to track meeting attendees. There is an email that goes out after the meeting of the attendees, but often this list is incomplete, or is not an accurate reflection of the attendees.
- GlobalMeet often does not work when we need it to. Even though I have the app installed on my computer, whenever I try to pull up a meeting it works only half the time. Other times it will go straight to the web version even though I have the app.
- GlobalMeet is not very user-friendly. It is clunky, and does not make the life of the presenter or "host" easier.
January 07, 2020
There are better solutions
We schedule meetings with staff and customers and we use GlobalMeet to have a centralized location for everyone to call in at. Some people may be working from home, working off-site or in a different part of the country. It's a way to get everybody together. You can share screens and have an integrated meeting.
- I like the screen sharing features.
- I like the audio features such as muting and recording options.
- Integration with Outlook to create calendar appointments and add additional people to the meeting.
- Sometimes there is a lag when I'm presenting in a meeting. I have also experienced lags when sharing my screen.
- As far as I know, this isn't available on mobile devices.
- Sometimes the quality is bad and we have had people who were unable to join or were not able to hear other participants.

Platform for Global Communication and Collaboration
I have been using GlobalMeet for video conferencing, webinar, and scheduling client meeting across the regions. This platform is easy to use and cost competitive with other similar vendors. I used for group webinar and meeting with global team. No APP download is necessary as the platform can be assessed directly online.
- Easy to schedule meetings, webinar, and video conferencing around with other global offices. Normally we do team meeting and webinar to discuss about on-going projects and share presentation output.
- GlobalMeet sends detailed report at the end of each meeting and the report can be used as reference for the minutes of meeting in future.
- Features such as enabling recording and screen sharing enables easy for walk through presentation slides during the meeting.
- Often times the speaker would not functions. I need exit the meeting and enter the meeting again.
- Sometimes it is hard to mute the speaker as this will disable the voice from other user as well.
- Sometimes the system hangs especially when dealing with overseas clients and team meeting.

Great virtual collaboration tool
We use it for team meetings. It's a great way to meet and collaborate virtually.
- Great for sharing content online
- Options to connect via online or through cellphone. The call me feature is great.
- Ease of use. Very easy to use and to share.
- It would be nice to have a gallery of recorded calls.
- It would be nice to get a notice if the software needs to be updated. Getting a notice 5 minutes before a call that software needs to be updated is very frustrating.
- Maybe a notification for when chats are happening.
In my department, we use it to facilitate meetings that review the EMR build and workflow use. The screenshare feature is an important component of GlobalMeet to help ensure clarity during discussions and decisions. I use it 2-3 times a day running a meeting. My meetings have anywhere from 5-60 attendees.
My team additionally leverages it to hold educational webinars. Those also range in attendance, anywhere from 5-35 attendees, but are run multiple times a day.
- With the updated version, it makes it easy for anyone to screen share during very helpful meetings. This is because a lot of my attendees are clinicians and not very familiar with global meet and they would get confused when you tried to promote them
- The connect me feature is also a favorite of mine. I never manually dial in, I always have the meeting call me.
- At one point, I was having major issues with the screenshare feature, to the point it was dropping 3-4 times a meeting. This was very challenging as the meetings had around 60 attendees. One of GlobalMeet's technicians worked with me and my technical department to get it working quickly. After that I no longer had any issues.
- Right now, the main thing I would like to see is the message playing after connecting via phone be turned off or tell me how to turn it off.
- Remove the option for the computer to call into the meeting. This always leads to challenges with sound during the meeting. People who do not readily join these meetings often choose this option.
- no other recommendations, their recent upgrade dramatically improved the tool for me.

Great Meeting Tool, as Long as You Don't Want to Meet.
We use GlobalMeet Collaboration to host live training and webinars. All departments at the national level use it for this purpose. In theory, it provides an opportunity for several people to be on a call at once while watching someone execute our system software on-screen.
- GlobalMeet Collaboration is cheap.
- The screen share recordings are always high quality and ready quickly in an easy to use format.
- Customer support is very quick to declare a problem resolved.
- Customer Support needs to actually resolve issues before declaring them resolved and ignoring them if they even acknowledge your request for support.
- Multiple times customer support's solution has been to have over 100 people on a nationwide call disconnect from the call and log back in. This is neither practical nor acceptable in the middle of a call.
- Screen share randomly stops sharing for no reason and there is no way to know this unless someone on the other end says something. Everything on the presenter's screen shows as the share is continuing.
- With the most recent upgrade, several key pieces of functionality were removed so a new, non-user friendly interface could be added. No longer are presenters allowed to share documents via GlobalMeet. Also no longer are presenters allowed to poll the audience. These are key pieces of functionality that were available in the previous version and are available in just about all of the competition. When asked about it support said they would try to bring it back in a future release, but isn't the new design pretty.

The web-based version is better than the desktop version
GlobalMeet is used for Project management meetings and committees to review timelines, issues, PowerPoints, and many more visually driven conversations. Mainly the I.T. department uses GlobalMeet, but it is used by our Patient Accounting department as well for weekly meetings.
- When connecting through Internet Explorer, the product works really well and is easy to connect.
- Transferring presenter permissions is very easy through Internet Explorer.
- The desktop version is terrible. It disconnects frequently, and it is hard to make someone else the presenter.
- When Sharing your screen when the meeting is online, the screen capture of your shared screen on your end is too small to read.

GlobalMeet is Great!
We assign every attorney in the firm with their own GlobalMeet account for conference calls. They have their own 800 number and passcodes to give to clients. They enjoy the 24-7 aspect of making and hosting a conference call where before IT support created a conference bridge, that took time for them, IT and reduced usable channels of our T1.
- Easy to use - just dial-in with your 800 number, enter a passcode or host-code and you are connected to your conference call.
- Easy way of recording the conference call.
- We like the email confirmation that includes the participants and the number of minutes they were connected that is sent at the end of a conference call.
- The web interface could be easier to navigate.

GlobalMeet is perfect conference call platform for small business
GlobalMeet is the platform used by our organization for conference calls with our board of directors and regional representatives. Our organization is a small non-profit, but all members use the software for any conference call needs. The ability to share the dial-in information with participants and use any phone makes it possible for the software to be used anywhere.
- Easy to use system for business conference calls
- Recording feature useful to playback information from the meeting
- Accessibility of domestic and international call in numbers make it possible for participants to call in no matter where they are traveling or located.
- Recording available for 90 days

Would recommend GlobalMeet all day every day!
It is being used as the main web conference system. Since we have employees globally, it helps facilitate communication between the team. The two departments that use GlobalMeet the most are sales and marketing as they are often in meetings and on the phone. The biggest business problem is addresses is that it has simplified the way we do web conferencing. Before GlobalMeet, we were using an audio conferencing line that allowed us to basically share presentations but we lacked so many features that we just never used it. For instance, as silly as it may sound, one of my favorite features is being able to see who is on the line. Before GlobalMeet, it would be 5 minutes of "who is on the line?" "Hi, who just joined?" Now, people just join in and it doesn't disrupt my meetings. Another business problem it solves is how easy it is to share documents and have multiple presenters. Again, simple little things but they really make a difference and makes the conferences easy.
- Showing who is talking. This takes away any confusion you may have and prevents users to have to ask who is talking and when.
- Mobile application. So simple to use and easy to go from mobile to web. I don't think I've ever seen another application that do that. This is a strength because it allows me to have a little more flexibility with my meetings.
- Sharing documents. You can upload your file online and access it from anywhere at anytime. I am no longer having to remember to bring a flash drive with me to every meeting or email the document to the administrative assistant.
- Joining the meeting. Oh I can't say enough about this. When joining the meeting is a hassle, it doesn't make people too fond of coming in the first place. GlobalMeet has made it so easy by just calling you directly. Seriously, another one of my favorite feature. People are more on time and less frustrated.
- Sometimes, I felt that the quizzes/polls froze on me and that definitely made it easier to keep the flow of the meeting as sometimes I've had to restart completely. I haven't used these features in a while and there has been several updates since then so that may be better now.

GlobalMeet is an excellent, efficient collaboration tool
GlobalMeet is the only IT-approved and authorized web conferencing software at my organization. We use it for internal and external meetings. GlobalMeet helps us address connecting with our internal employees. We're a global company and in the headquarters office, less than one percent of all employees work here, so it's critical that we use this solution to be able to connect and share ideas and content anywhere and everywhere.
- the connect-me function is outstanding! I never have to dial into a conference call.
- It works as soon as it loads. As the company standard, we're not waiting to download plugins or anything else in order to get going.
- The share a file option is great for collaboration
- The option to take over screen sharing is kind of slow. That could be a bit quicker
- The whiteboard could be a little nicer. Reminds me of Paint on old computers.
- I wish it were easier to gather your recorded meetings. I don't like having to login and wait for a download.

Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
GlobalMeet is used for teleconferencing needs at least 2 of our locations. Allows employees to meet on a regular basis with each other and with vendors/clients/customers that are spread out not only in the state but in the country. It helps them to share screens with each other to do presentations and provide any other pertinent information.
- It is easy to upload files and share immediately.
- The ability to record meetings and have them available for everyone to review quickly.
- Being able to promote participants so that they can control presentations with the shared screen option.
- Connection issues at times
- I would like to be able to get some sort of reports at the end of the call maybe showing attendance
