GoToWebinar: it increased our audience and so can you
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We needed a way to bring new educational content to our audience. We use GoTo to host a monthly, a bi-monthly, and occasional paid commercial webinars. We initially charged non-members to view the webinars but the exposure to a larger audience during COVID made us change these to free for anyone. In addition to the live webinars, we also keep the recordings in a library for users to view later.
- The webinars are easy to set up and schedule
- Admin controls during the webinar are easy to use and pretty self-explanatory
- Automatic recordings are great.
- Attendee/registration reports are helpful
- You can't blur your background when using a webcam. Zoom has been doing this forever and this seems like a pretty big omission.
- Invited panelists can't test their screenshare/audio/video on their own so we have to schedule sessions to do this.
- We have a lot of repeat speakers/panelists, not having the ability to save their information for easy access can be a pain.
- You can't add hyperlinks or attach files to the automated attendee/registrant emails.
- You only get one login per license and cannot substitute emails. This is a real pain if the licensed person needs someone else to run a webinar every now and then because only the licensed person receives the backup panelist invites. Even being able to add a cced individual to those emailed invites would be a big help.

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

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.

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
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

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.

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

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
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

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
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.

Great Webinar Tech For Mid- to Large-Scale Webinars
We use GoTo Webinar for all client webinars and training. It's a powerful webinar tool, with a lot of flexibility that we find useful. We do webinars for clients and prospects and utilize the Q&A, polls, etc.
- Simple user interface
- The ability for pre-registration, both manual and auto approvals
- Technology is reliable and simple to use
- The video library is convenient for us when sharing replays
- Love that reporting is available almost immediately after post-webinar
- Would love to have the ability to customize the required information for video replay access
- Q&A panel during live events - would love for speakers to be able to see the Q&A and not just the organizer and co-organizers

Basic Webinar Platform - Good for Beginners
We host monthly webinars with GoTo Webinar to raise brand awareness and generate leads. We typically host webinars with multiple speakers who work for various organizations, most of whom are familiar with GoTo Webinar.
- Hubspot integration.
- Logging in as a presenter.
- Scheduling webinars.
- Landing pages are poorly designed.
- Emails aren’t customizable enough.
- Wish it was easier to adjust settings on how attendees communicate during presentations.

- Gives us solid reporting capabilities
- Allows an interaction chat and questions during the presentation

Great platform for all your webinar needs
We used GoToWebinar to conduct industry webinars for lead generation and branding, customer/partner workshops for revenue generation and internal company townhall as well as employee discussions. We used both types of meetings- live sessions as well as recorded webcasts and on-demand video streaming modes for creating meaningful content experience and interaction with our brand.
- The platform user experience is very seamless
- The webinar use case is covered extensively with features that covers the entire lifecycle: registation generation, nurturing registrants, live session, attendee management, session experience, follow ups and insights
- Webinar Analytics is near instant and exhaustive- date/ time stamps and every user behaviour is tracked
- Integrations with CRMs and marketing automation are limited.
- There is severe limitations with design and customisation of webinar registration landing page
- The web experience on mobile is not seamless, you need to install mobile app

Good product
Our Marketing department, Product Management, and Sales department use GoToWebinar to present to our customers and prospects every month about our new and existing products and applications. It is a great way for us to reach a global audience and to answer their many technical questions in near real-time. GoToWebinar's polling feature also helps us get to know our audience and to gather market research info.
- Identify registrants.
- Solicit questions from the audience.
- Share webcams.
- Needs to include Australian states and "not applicable" in the picklist values.
- It would help to have a way to read long texted questions from the audience more easily.
- Ability for registrants to select multiple items from a question picklist.
September 02, 2021
The new GoTo Webinar is worth checking out
We use it to host internal and external-facing webinars. We are currently using it to host a quarterly Product Event for our customers and prospects and it has been a great way to share content with the industry during this time of remote working. It has helped us stay in front of our customers without being able to connect with them face-to-face.
- Auto-recording.
- Preview of screen sharing.
- Multiple speaker sharing/organization.
- Reporting - cannot create reports on multiple sessions in one view.
- Unique backgrounds (like Zoom).
- Some settings are automatically turned off, like capturing webcams while recording, and that has created some issues when we don't test a session prior to recording.

GoToWebinar: The Godfather of Webinar Software
For the past ten years, I have used GoToWebinar off and on for my business and my client's businesses. In the online webinar space, I believe that GoToWebinar is the standard that everyone else compares to. When you need a solution that works, use GoToWebinar. I have not ever experienced a failure with running webinars on the GoToWebinar platform.
- It works as it says it does.
- It does well reporting metrics
- The registration system works seamlessly
- Great for when you want a webinar to have a replay at another time
- Clunky, outdated interface for both back of house and end-user experience
- It doesn't have all the latest tricks built in that other webinar software do.
- It's not an all in one solution, so you have to integrate other third-party apps.
Marketing uses GoTo Webinar to execute those external-facing webinars that we host ourselves. It integrates with Hubspot which makes registration and follow-up a breeze.
- Integration with Hubspot is great.
- User interface is easy.
- reporting have improved.
- Virtual Backgrounds: It is almost impossible to do this.
- They could improve the chat functionality during a live webinar.
