Good alternative to Zoom depending on what you are looking for
I am a presenter and I use GoToWebinar to deliver presentations on various topics. GTW has a LOT of features for presenting, not all of which are used. We use GTM in conjunction with Zoom, depending on what is needed or who the webinars are through. For attendees to use GTW, they only have to download a little bit of of software.
- attendee features
- seeing your screen
- seeing how attentive folks are
- can be a resource hog
- not always accurate with "attentive" data
- not as popular as zoom anymore

Great Tool for trainings and pre-recorded webinars
I use GoTo Webinar because it is very easy to use and it is #1 customer-recommended webinar platform to engage employees or other audience through virtual events. I like that joining a GoTo Webinar is always free and nobody needs an account to attend sessions. I have scheduled and completed multiple training and educations sessions through GoTo Webinar.
- Pre Recorded webinars and trainings
- Webcasts
- Setting up virtual events
- virtual trainings
- remote support from anywhere
- Better support and set up directions
- More templates and settings t ocreate webinars
- Additional features would be great

Solid features for a great product
This product has been very useful for joining certain business webinars that I have been involved with in the past, as a participant. The interface was very user-friendly, and the sound connection features worked very well. This product served to make remote meetings easy and interactive.
- User-friendly interface
- Sound connection
- Chat
- Unattractive aestetics
- Hidden Q&A section that can be difficult for inexperienced users to find
December 06, 2023
Users take
From a user standpoint, I cannot think of any particular issues that I have run into while using Goto Webinar. It seems to be easy to navigate and works smoothly. The quality of the product is good and allows many users to be on it all at once without having to be on site or lagging/slowing down the webinar.
- Easy to use
- Stable
- Straightforward
- Add more functions for the user end

Easy to use and good lesson

GoTo Meeting Meets My Needs
I help set up, host, or otherwise provide backup for webinars. We aim for one webinar per quarter and invite our customers to attend to learn about what’s new with our software, provide important information about different areas of the business, and more.
- Registration
- Metrics
- Webinar recording
- More robust reporting
December 06, 2023
Simple to use and master
We used GoTo Webinar to execute marketing webinars for clients, prospects and internal employees. It was our standard in-house tool for several years and every member of the marketing team had access to use this software on a weekly basis. This tool helped us quickly plan and develop webinars for end users.
- Easy to set up webinars
- Simple to learn to use
- Q&A feature is simple to operate
- UX is not great compared to competitors
- Occasional glitches occurred during webinars.
- Recordings were slow to upload
December 06, 2023
A basic solution for basic events
We use GTW for less critical webinars within our organization. For higher-profile events, we use a more premium webinar platform that provides more flexibility and customization.
- Simplicity of presenter interface.
- Good video capabilities.
- Quick to set up an event.
- Sharing a PowerPoint can be cumbersome. Presenters can't see the other attendees if they only have one monitor. There are workarounds, but it's not great.
- Registration form options are limited.
- Post-event emails are wonky. Very little ability to customize.
- Getting an event started is confusing. Their "Practice", "Start", and "Start Broadcast" options are confusing.

Intuitive Platform to Host Large Scale Webinars
GoToWebinar is an intuitive, easy-to-use platform for hosting webinars on a large scale. I specifically like features such as polling to engage the live audience and gather feedback instantly. screen share option, recording, etc. The post-webinar analytics feature is great as well as it provides insights into audience engagement rate, attendance, etc. Overall, a great tool with superior video and audio functionality.
- Customer Service: very prompt at responding; dedicated reps for business accounts.
- Reporting feature: attendees, registrants, and post-session questions, polls, and survey feedback.
- Reliable and easy to use platform.
- Great quality audio and video.
- Does not offer breakout rooms such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom.
- Lack of drawing board feature to brainstorm in group meeting.

A great all-around webinar/live event tool
We used GoTo Webinar for hosting webinars and online events with multiple panelists and hundreds of attendees.
- Webinar set-up
- Webinar reporting
- Webinar logistics
- Apple users have had their cameras blocked
- Running the webinar from the browser rather than separate app
- More intuitive control panel

Vetted Review
Verified User
I use GoTo Webinar connect to do some virtual interviews when candidates aren't comfortable with coming in the office. The connection is always clear and video doesn't buffer!
- Easy to download
- HD video is included
- Very easy to switch between desk phone, app, and the mobile app
- Sometimes when traveling in the car, it would drop in and out of service in some areas
- Customer support wait time was a bit long every time I called
My team uses this app for hosting webinars with our customer businesses on several occassions such as quarterly updates ,annual general meeting. Its easy for creating and sending invites to a large set of people.
I personally also attend many wellness and fun sessions organized by partner companies for us. This has helped us easily attend such events and engage with our colleagues.

- Conduct large group webinars
- Ability to ask for polls, comments from users
- Good registration/form process
- The user interface can be made more modern like google meet
- Background noise removal should be made better
- Overall connection stability in low bandwidth connections can be improved more

A Reliable Video Conferencing Tool.
I use GoTo Webinar as a productivity tool to facilitate brainstorming sessions and discussions for business planning with bigger teams. The audio is crisp, and video streaming features are seamless. The interface is welcoming and encourages collaboration and healthy dialogue with remote teams. Attendance at meetings can be recorded, and used as auditable evidence to demonstrate communication with different levels of staff. In addition, GoTo Webinar allows for easy event management, particularly scheduling reminders and issuing notifications.
- Payment is not flexible regarding use of various currency.
- Compared to other video conferencing tools, the price point is a bit costly.
- Payment is not flexible and available in US dollars only. This can be challenging as there are restrictions in procuring foreign currency due to unavailability or limited amount of US Dollars in my jurisdiction.
- Whilst similar video conferencing tools provide the same experience and usability; I personally think it is a bit too costly.

GoTo Webinar-Discover a better experience
We have client who is in educational verticals. Where they use on- demand webinars regular basis . They have Students who need to fill customize registration forms, so they get alert before the webinar. GoTo Webinar best suited their environment, because its facilitates hosting on-line events. The platform language options like French, English and other languages it can be access from any device.
- Customize registrations pages
- Live answers notifications
- Call-to -action button
- SAML SSO integration is missing which to use single password to access multiple applications.
- Question Upvotes is missing where we wants to know rationality of any questions asked in on live webinar .
- Emoji reaction-which is basic features now days.

To buy or not To buy GoTo Webinar
GoTo Webinar is one of the very first tools for the online meetings I used for my work. It provides many advantages, such as for participants, you do not need to install it, you can use the web version.
I used to connect with my clients, share content and exchange ideas.

Video Conference Presentation Meetup Tool.
Through the GoTo Webinar, We can able to Connect internally with our Production Support teams, and also we can connect with our Clients as well. Apart from other Video Conferencing tools like Cisco Webex, through GoTo Webinar, it can host participants up to 2000+ in reality, But Sometimes in our Organisation at the time of Covid, in order to address more people (Close to 2700) in one Session regarding Health Importance we have utilized this tool to Connect with the Participant Queries to address their the emotional well-being and other stuff. So through this tool, Communication can reach a Wider Audience.
- Through GoTo Webinar, We can Present the Presentations to a Wider Audience, as informed Previously, as this Communication tool has a small amount of Licensing Capability at a Reasonable Price.
- Also, in the Meetings, The Panelist can ask Questions and can Conduct an intuitive poll among the Participants.
- Also never faced any Kind of Continuous Communication Glitches, But Sometimes on rare occasions, Noise Distortion happens, and that happens due to Network Fluctuations due to BandWidth Issues.
- Also, some of the other Features of the GoTo Webinar are the Hosts/Panelists Can Mute their Audiences and also can make the audience raise their hands so that the Questions can be addressed.
- Finally, at the end of any Meeting, I can Provide them with the Survey regarding the Meeting Stuff and end the Meeting as well.
- Unlike Some Other Conferencing Tools, GoTo Webinar Tool doesn't have the Provision for Break-out Sessions.
- Because if Multiple Sessions are happening in an Event, So it is up to the Participants to decide regarding the participation in their Following topics, So at the time, the Break-out Sessions are found to be helpful. But as said earlier, the GoTo webinar can able to house a Maximum Number of participants, But it should be One Specific Session, not the Brek-out Ones.
- Another demerit of this tool is the inability of users to become the Hosts at Certain Points to Continue the Presentation, as Some Restrictions are in Place that only the Hosts can provide Permissions to the participants at some Points.

My favorite tool for the webinars
I've been using GoTo Webinar for 4+ Years. Firstly it was for when we were selling Online Courses (in a previous organization), and now the high ticket offers. GoTo Webinar helps in making organizing webinars simpler and helps us convert a larger audience at the same time.
- GoTo Webinar integrates well with the tools like LeadPages, Zapier, etc., so you can have your own style of landing page for improving initial webinar opt-ins
- Polls and Questions is my favorite feature in the tool, as it helps in building engagement with the audience
- GoTo Webinar stores the session recordings on its server, which you can download whenever you want.
- Their pricing plans, most of its competitors else provide a Free Tier in their plans
December 06, 2022
Good Tool for Our Data Protection Requirements
We use GoTo Webinar for remote team meetings with external participants - for these meetings we cannot use Teams because Teams displays personal information, including first name and last name, of the participants, GoTo Webinar has the advantage that it does not display the personal information, which is very stricly regulated in our region.
- Sharing
- Video
- Audio
- mobile connection
- hard to navigate on navigation bar sometimes
- takes a second to adjust e.g. background

You should try GoTo Webinar!
We use it to conduct virtual meetings and other business. It helps us solve the problem of connecting remote workers. This has become especially important since the Covid disruption shifted many of our employees to a virtual environment. We likely will continue to use it even in the post Covid world.
- Ease of use
- Low start up cost
- Good functionality
- Not a lot of advanced features
- Stiff competition
- Increase reliability would help

I use GoTo Webinar for simple and quality meetings
We use GoTo Webinar for meetings and presenting PowerPoint slides over an organised meeting. It has a great visual experience look-wise. It has a unique option to unmute and then gets joined to the discussion with audio. Look-wise it does not have the clumsy options that other Meeting tools have which is very good for a newbie or, say, a layman person.
- Question and Answers deck
- Online Meeting tool
- Audio and video conferencing tool
- i have not found the option to use a background image in this tool
- probably online cloud recording option
- a very small meeting timer on any corner of the meeting

Let's GoTo Webinar !
The GoTo Webinar was basically used for conducting Online Placement related Webinars . Through this app we can easily attend and host live sessions . The major advantage of this app is that it dismisses the problem of attending in physical sessions. Any session can be easily taken on it and participants can also ask their questions in Chat.
- Question/Answers (In Chat)
- Recordings
- Screen Sharing
- Data Usage
- Audio Output
- Camera

Great for virtual meetings and webinars.
It was used for me to be able to do virtual instruction on how to use Canvas. It was during Covid when most everything was virtual. It was fairly simple to use. I would definitely recommend it to anyone needing a virtual platform to use for meetings, conferences, and training.
- Easy to use.
- Completely virtual.
- Can be used anywhere.
- None

The tool for webinars.
I use the tool to organize webinars with our customers. Webinars are about presenting a product or solution, which is our offering. Tools enable us to hold the meeting in a structured way. Webinars are normally done with one person presenting and talking, and the other participants are in listening mode with the possibility to ask the question at the end of the webinar.
- Invites
- Managing attendees.
- Holding & organizing webinar.
- Sign in could be improved.
- UI could be improved.
- Attendees management could be improved.

Even "tech challenged" members of our staff love GoTo Webinar.
As the hub office for six other satellite markets, we have the need to communicate time-sensitive information to all of our account executives at least once per month. With the majority of our office locations, travel time is not a luxury. With GoTo Webinar, we are able to gather each of our directors and seven offices for real-time training since everyone is connected via one screen with zero lag time. Recently I started conducting training quizzes at the end of each monthly meeting- the response time is instant, and being so connected has added to the participation levels increasing and a more cohesive executive management culture.
- scheduling a meeting takes less than one minute.
- I am able to customize meeting invites.
- On a time crunch, I can simply copy the invitation and send the info within seconds.
- I don't immediately see when others have clicked on the invitation.
