(1-5 of 5)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 -- More Trustworthy Than Zoom
- Responsive to customers changing needs
- Maintenance of video library
- Not raising prices or trying to upsell with every communication
- Social usage like Zoom did so that Zoom became more accepted because it was pushed on the individual sale with a "free" option until it became the normalized product
- Having 1 login for billing, Meetings and webinar and being able to select the product after login rather than having 3 different sites

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.

GoToWebinar will add revenue to your bottom line!
- The automated e-mail to registrants. This e-mail allows the registrants to add the webinar to their calendar in a very seamless fashion and in the correct time zone, so there is no confusion and it increases the odds they will actually attend.
- The recording of a webinar and the ability to edit it if need be and e-mail to 2 different segments (both the attendees and registrants who couldn't make the webinar). These e-mails go out to these groups separately, so it allows you to customize the message you send to each segment.
- The reporting is another strength of GoToWebinar. It allows you to see how long the registrants were in the webinar, the answers they had for any polls you conducted during the webinar and their answers to any post-webinar survey questions you have. This actually covers three strengths in one. The reporting, the polls, which engages the attendees during the webinar and the survey, which allows you to learn and improve by getting valuable feedback.
- One weakness is the customization and branding portion is somewhat limited. I'd like to be able to put a message on the registration page that differs from the automated e-mails that go out.
- When you send out a webinar recording to someone not already registered after the webinar, the link they click on is basically a registration page, and once they register the video will display, which is fine, I just wish it could be a little more clear, it just seemed a little odd to me, I think the template could be cleaned up a bit here, perhaps the video embedded on the initial page and they register on that page for it to play, I'm not sure what the answer is here.
- The current post webinar survey is only displayed on a users screen after the webinar. I think it would be nice to add a feature where you can send a link to people to after the fact to ask them to fill out the survey once you look at the report and see who didn't fill it out. I found a work around for this, but I think it would be a nice feature to auto generate a survey link that you can send out in personal e-mail, similar to the registration link.
