(1-25 of 106)Great tool for External Webinars
We love the features that you can mute participants, take questions and follow up after the call, if there isn’t time. Sharing and receiving RSVPs is very helpful and use friendly. We have account managers that’s host webinars with 50+ clients regularly and it’s just such a game changer with all the amazing features.
- RSVP Tracking
- Ease of Use
- Mute / Engagement features
- Steps to share the webinar
GoToWebinar: easy to use virtual events
- Ease of Use
- Interactivity Features
- Mobile Accessibility
- User interface customisation
- Breakout room features
- Expanded mobile app features
Powerful tool for videoconferencing and remote learning
- Manage screen sharing
- Manage live chat stream
- Manage audio settings of the participants
- Larger chat space
- Possibility to download screen content immediately
- Switch from differen screens
Not the best tool to stream videos from third party-souces, but well suited in case of presentations, like PPT and PDF. Best for conferencing on any topic that does imply passive learning by listening.
Goto Webinar is great for small & medium sized business who are looking to get started
- analytics
- interactive features
- flexible pricing
- Bad with slow network
- video quality fluctuates more than zoom at times
- Not as many virtual backgrounds
If I had a third thumb, I'd give GoTo Webinar three thumbs up!!!
- Smooth playback of video with none of the frame-freezing or glitching issues.
- Crystal-clear audio that allows for a wide range of volume adjustment.
- Super-simple to use and enjoy!
- If GoTo Webinar had an area that needed improvement, I have yet to find it!
Meeting without in-person energy
- It's simple for me as the one giving the online course and for the participants.
- many participants can be meet by GoTo webinar platforms easily with a good features too
- it has a good quality of audio and video recording
- its price and platform is too easy to use it for anyone
- it does not integration with others platforms of some social medias
- it has much price
- Nothing more dislike
GoTo Webinar if you'd like your Webinar to success
We build physical product and support is essential either it's in house technician or external.
- It's extremely easy to contact and send invitation the webinar required and the control is very intuitive
- Ability to track attendance and from the data we can generate very useful graph and vis for our metrics
- Multi presenter webinar are also useful in cases where there are multiple presenters
- Dashboard for control are mostly intuitive but in some menus like the webcasting section can be cluttered
- The current polling and survey capabilities are too simple. More advanced features, such as branching logic and real-time results, would make engagement more dynamic and insightful.
- Although it's easy for organiser to use goto webinar, users have reported issues and long wait time on their end and they don't have much control over the session
For internal meetings with a few participants, simpler video conferencing solutions like Zoom or Google Meet might be more convenient and easy to setup. If GoTo Webinar has a simpler, lightweight version, it might be more attractive to replace zoom or meet
GoToWebinar: it increased our audience and so can you
- 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.
A downside is that you cannot embed links or attach files to those emails. We send out disclosure/conflict of interest statements to all attendees prior to the sessions starting and being able to include those as attachments in the reminder emails would be great. You cannot blur your webcam background. Almost all of our panelists want that option and they usually say "Zoom can do it" when I say it's unavailable.

Simple to use and master
- Easy to set up webinars

A basic solution for basic events
- 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
- 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
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
To buy or not To buy GoTo Webinar
I used to connect with my clients, share content and exchange ideas.
- Yu can use it from any device... this is a big win
- number of participants
- templates of events that you can select from
- also provides many registration forms and quizzes
- The user interface
- more expensive compared to other tools
- Audio quality
One scenario where GoTo Webinar does not function as expected is when you deal with PowerPoint and you have one screen only. Also, I find it a bit annoying is when you have multiple screens, it becomes unstable for some reason.
Video Conference Presentation Meetup Tool.
- 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.
