Excellent GoTo Solution That Goes the Distance
Goto Webinar is used for my financial analysis meetings with desktop sharing and collaboration and it allows team members to share ideas gather information and make informed decisions. I would recommend it for anyone with a distributed team that needs to share information and meet regularly while minimizing costs in general.
- Desktop sharing
- Muting
- Texting
- View zoom in could be better
- Mute controls for mute all
- Volume controls

Gather More Leads
I use GoTo Webinar a couple of times per quarter as we have webinars between our partners and our customers. This helps us introduce our customers to our partners. Very easy to use and it's very user-friendly. Most importantly bent had a problem we customers logging in and watching the webinar.
- Easy
- Quick
- User-friendly
- Outdated appearance userface
- Making copy features
- Don't hide setting features

The GoTo of Webinars
I use it as a virtual meeting tool. I am able to share diagrams and drawings and have other participants interact. My next project is for training using the company's email services. I have several remote users and this will allow me the ability to give them the training resources without the expense of bringing them to the office.
- Allows multiple people to take control of the training
- Gives the operator the ability to upload documents for the participants
- Makes it easy for the participants to login and join the training
- Questions are easily seen and allows organizer the option to answer immediately or wait until it is appropriate
- The analytics are cumbersome
- I have not used the recorded presentation mode
- Pricing structure is high

GoTo Webinar makes post production a breeze.
We currently use GoTo Webinar for presentations and recording of them for use later. My role is to access the software after the webinars in order to download and make edits to the videos for later use. GoTo Webinar makes my process easier as I am able to view all recordings in one place. Reducing my production time significantly.
- Recording
- Attendance tracking.
- Audio
- Web cam usage tends to slow the webinars down.

GoTo Webinar Review
We used GoTo Webinar for large scale meetings/trainings that were held for the company and other outside clients. We would use this for larger scale presentations and times when there would be crowd and presenter interaction that would occur to not only spur conversation but also facilitate discussions between major stakeholders.
- Interaction
- Ease of use
- Presentation mode/presenter ease
- Login for outside users
- Answering polling questions
- Sound can be muffled

Works as promised.
It is typically reserved for those that can not connect to MS Teams. We have folks all over the country, and often times this is the best way for them to connect. We have also utilized it for meetings with organizations outside of our business.
- Video
- Streaming
- Text options.
- Differentiating Chat and Q&A to be more distinct.

Excellent item to use
The business problems that get addressed are reviews during meetings of any internal & external customer support issues. The use effectively gathers & communicates info, not only internally but externally as well. It's a valuable Webinar resource that is being utilized daily by our company!
- Screen share
- Clear audio & visual
- Meeting scheduling
- No issues with using it
- Send out periodic surveys for any enhancement suggestions.
We are a professional trade association, and we produce and deliver a number of webinars throughout the year to our members as continuing education programs for their professional requirements. We have been using GoTo Webinar for about 10 years to deliver these online webinars to our members. We deliver the live version of these webinars directly on the GoTo Webinar platform, and then we use their recording and editing tools to create an on-demand version of each webinar to make available to our members after the live event is held.
- Unlimited number of webinars per month with no time limits
- Clear, user-friendly interface that allows our members to join our live webinars with very little technical assistance required
- Nice built-in tools for recording and editing video content
- Quick and responsive customer support by phone
- Adding speakers/panelists - it would be better if you could store a bank of past speakers to quickly add them to new webinars being created
- Making the web version of the software equal in functionality to the desktop version so that users would not have to download and install the software in order to join in a webinar
- If the handouts posted to a webinar could be made available for download in advance of a webinar, it would allow the participants to have these in hand before the webinar begins instead of having to download these after the webinar is opened. Or make them available to the participants while in the waiting room prior to the start of the broadcast

The Webinar Software to GoTo
Score 7 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
This software was used in a prototype situation when reviewing the best way to use a webinar related piece of software.While it was used my experience with it was early and good but it showed promise and have seen and interacted with it many times since. GoTo Webinar was used for the purpose of hosting a company wide GDC like event in which it was a platform for people to tune in and be exposed to a variety of teams and the information they where willing to share.In a company with thousands of employees it is vital to information share and GoTo Webinar created this opportunity.On demand video was a necessity and it delivered
- Ability to handle poll interaction
- Emailing automation
- Robust Analytics
- Audio quality could be better overall, Cut offs and stable audio connections arent as good as you would want it to be
- Documentation for GoTo Webinar Api is not up to user friendly standards
- Registration page lacks a robust customization

Casual Use
We use it to communicate with outside parties and other companies, organizations, and people. We use it for meetings when it is beneficial to share screens and present visual information. It is used mainly for meetings with other entities who use the software. It is not used for internal meetings with staff.
- Sharing Screen
- Video Calls
- Meetings
- Recording meetings
- More video optionality
- More optionality with screen sharing
- More markup optionality

GoTo Webinar is quick, easy and user friendly
Our association uses [GoTo Webinar] for almost all our online webinars, which can be between 2-5 per month. Most of the programs are generated in the U.S., but we also use it for international webinars that are launched by our team in Malaysia. It has been a great way to reach a very large, international audience for our educational programs.
- Reports are quite thorough for attendee tracking, Q&A submissions.
- Overall the online technology and connectivity is very reliable.
- They have good help screens, and if needed the live help staff are easily accessible.
- It would be nice to be able to run customized reports.
- Running a presentation with embedded videos can be hit or miss; typically only 50% of the audience can see and/or hear the videos.
- When needing to enter webinar information in a foreign language, the auto translations on the platform are not 100% accurate, and there are only so many languages to choose from.
GoTo Webinar is used by our customers to host virtual events. Cvent has a tight integration with GoTo Webinar. Our customers use cvent to collect registrations where GoTo Webinar is used on the day of the event/webinar. GoTo Webinar encourages attendee engagement and has increased the attendance rate. It has resolved a lot of business problems like analytics and event administration.
- Integrates well with other systems
- Attendee experience is user friendly
- Provides nice analytics related to attendee engagement
- Improve attendee experience
- Offer interactive features like chats, emojis
- RTMP output
- API Management

GoTo webinar for the win
We use GoTo Webinar for our presentations, and webinars to make them look presentable, and it can accommodate up to 1,000 attendees. The problem is we haven't tried reaching its maximum potential, we'd like to go big and try up to 5,000 attendees. This is of course for the organization with larger employees.
- User friendly
- Convenient
- Saves Time and effort
- Try extending the free trial just for a week.
- The user should be able to have a chat area if they have a query.
- Update the user interface for the non-technical users.

GoTo Webinar user review
I've used GoTo Webinar for the meetings and small conferences within our team. It's a good platform that allows for pre-records, screen sharing, and webcam sharing. The great thing that addressed our problem is that plenty of panelists can join at the same time. Therefore you can create your own branding for the webinar.
- Creating own branding
- Screen sharing
- Multiple panelists
- Would be great to have a public chat where everyone can share own thoughts.
Sometimes our partners give us some training in GoTo Webinar. We download at that time the app if we don't have it installed in our computer a few minutes before entering the training or conference event.
- Sound and video Quality
- Tools for moderators
- Clean interface for the user
- To offer an easy to use web extension.
- Some parts of the interface look not so friendly.
- Improve the load time to enter a conference call.

Gets the job done well
A few clients use GoTo Webinar for hosting webinars, continuing education courses, etc. I have run meetings from it in the past but recently I am just a viewer on the platform. It is convenient for hosting courses/webinars with large groups of people.
- Easy to use.
- Gets a little glitchy.
- It would be nice to be able to customize your event reminder emails more.

Consider GoTo Webinar for all of your webinar needs
GoTo Webinar allowed us to provide weekly webinars for our new customers in our onboarding period with our product. We were able to streamline processes and cut down on manually doing one-on-one training on basic aspects of our platform so that we could focus on more customized calls and training once customers watched our webinars and understood the foundational components of our software.
- Reporting and analytics
- Registrations and managing the audience
- Interfacing during the webinar with sharing screens, etc.
- Their UI felt a bit dated and clunky at times
- Their registration forms could have some additional components built in
- Every now and then we'd experience outages/crashes
We used GoTo Webinars for training, webinars, virtual roundtables, etc. This platform became especially beneficial during COVID as most executives and customers were remote and we could no longer host in-person events or travel to our customers' offices for in-person training. This also allowed one platform for a global team. We had employees in APAC, EMEA, and North and South America.
- Integration into Hubspot and SFDC for seamless tracking
- Easy to use back end for event hosts, speakers, etc
- Global reach for teams across different countries and time zones
- Ease of use for executives in the financial sectors whose security walls block other vendors like Zoom and Teams
- The ability to customize and brand the registration page more
- The ability to customize and brand the actual virtual event environment while the webinar is occurring
- Ability to customize registration confirmation and event reminder emails

Solid Webinar/Video Conference Platform
We use GoToWebinar as our primary platform for video conferencing.
- Image and Voice Quality
- Easy Control Panel
- Good Resolution/Audio on Video Recordings
- Integration with our marketing automation platform
- Custom Backgrounds. It would be much better if GoToWebinar didn't require a third-party service to upload custom backgrounds. I feel like this should be native functionality in 2022. The ChromaCam app is glitchy and a pain to use so I just opt not to use a background in GoToWebinar.

Great but always room for improvement
GoToWebinar solves the issue of in-person meetings at the moment. It is used across all departments and with outside stakeholders. With the ongoing pandemic, this helps the community to continue to conduct workshops on the regular. This has allowed us to add more options to the schedule.
- Ease of use for the presenter
- User friendly for attendees
- Allows the presenter to view the audience better.
- Better use for mobile users
- Ways to personalize the experience
- Language translation
We are a webinar sales company and we also are an Education company. We use GoTo Webinar for all of our Sales Presentations and for most of our Live Classes for Paid User Education. We currently have a lot of accounts that we use daily - multiple times a day. We have also tested the On-Demand or "Go To Stage" Feature.
- Webinars - 1 to Many presentations using screen share and audio
- Recordings - Ability to use a registration link for a single webinar to also view the on demand recording
- Scheduling - ability to schedule multiple webinars at one time
- Integrations - APIs to help integrate existing technology and GTW to our platforms
- Support - We have an account and the support options are limited and at times cumbersome
- Accounts and 2-Factor Authorization - This is great for users as individuals, but when using group emails or sharing accounts with group emails - it has become increasingly difficult to maintain
- Communication - Changes in the platform are done, but not communicated to the accounts, account admins, etc. We notice the changes and have to adjust on the fly
- Account Executive - We have had multiple and had to go digging for contact after a current AE leaves the organization
- Video-Sharing - is not the smoothest or prettiest experience. There have been improvements, but could be even better.

A strong tool to scale your webinar strategy
Use it to integrate with HubSpot and our marketing automation. It helps us streamline our webinars and demos for prospect and partner education. It helps us mitigate any technical risks and also provides best of breed functionality with surveys and polls. The simulated live functionality is great when trying to scale the number of webinars to complete.
- Integration with HubSpot
- Account manager support
- New features constantly added
- Video editing functionality
- Ability to edit landing pages
- Live video options
I use GoTo Webinar with clients who are looking to generate warm to hot leads for their product/solutions. Webinars and demos are key, especially for my SaaS clients, and GoTo Webinar provides a very intuitive and familiar interface for our hosts, cohosts, and guests. It typically only takes us 2 to 5 minutes to set everything up, from basic information to the registration page. Occasionally a client demands to use a different solution, but they always come to regret it in the end, switching back to GoTo Webinar.
- Webinars
- Landing Pages
- Customer Support
- Webinar Recording
- The Channel Interface isn't as intuitive in my opinion.

Why to choose GoTo Webinar
Weekly manager calls throughout the company which include training, brainstorming, and reviewing items on our list. I am able to share my screen which helps others understand better while looking at the exact screen of what I am training or reviewing that day. Chatbox is also helpful for those that are not comfortable unmuting to speak.
- Share my screen
- User friendly
- Chat box
- Able to see all users on the call

- Presentation Management
- Occupancy of invitees to meeting
- Easy access to the meeting
- Way to ask questions easier.
- A way to respond with emotes when muted.
- Sometimes slides are delayed.
