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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We have mass meetings for client campaigns for national sales assistants and also to implement new applications. It can hold many occupants and it is nice you can call in or listen via the computer. It is very user-friendly to enter the meeting and the presentation tool is easy to use when going over the new tools or campaigns.
