(1-25 of 27)Join.me: the creme of the crop
- Screen sharing
- Internet calling
- Unlimited audio with international conference lines.
- Easy interface
- I would like them to bring back hosting free. Some clients of mine would love this.
- With Join.me starting and ending virtual meetings is easy.
- The quality of video and audio is amazing.
- Join.me supports many participants during an web conferencing session.
- Some times Join.me lags more so when the internet is poor.
- The user interface is lacking - it could better.
- The tool is not the most affordable.
One scenario where Join.me is not appropriate is when some participants are based in areas with poor internet coverage because the software lags and this can be annoying.
- Easy to Screenshare
- Easy to customize to your orginization
- Cheaper option compared to other softwares
- Glitchy
- Need high quality wifi connection or there can be major issues on calls
- Cheaper option and it shows
Meeting with ease
- Easy access to the product
- Very user friendly, intuitive product
- Great for virtual meetings
- Easy connection to utilize product
- I remember times when using the link that someone sent didn't work
- It wasn't always consistent
Doesn't work as well when there is a large number of meeting participants. Found that the links didn't always work.
Join.me has been good
- It hosts meetings really well with out being overly complicated
- The install process was simple not too many questions
- It seemed to work the first time with any errors.
- I wish the pricing was more competitive with similar programs
- I wish it worked on the Amazon platform it would be helpful for tablet users
- I wish it had a plugin for Safari
Join.Me - would have, could have, should have
- The platform is visually appealing
- Connection is stable most of the time
- The content sharing feature can be sharpened up a lot to make it more reliable
- An option to combine users who are using their computer video and a phone for audio would also create less confusion on larger calls
Intuitive platform for online meetings
- It doesn't allow you to double book your meetings
- Recording the meetings and sending out the files to the participants
- Seamless screen sharing/remote controlling
- Glitchy at times
- Long loading/buffering times despite having a good connection
Join.me - A Video Conferencing Tool For The Rest of Us
- No need to download anything to get started. Once you sign up you can get started from within your browser. This is probably the single best feature, its a get up and go solution for video conferencing and you do not need any software for it to work.
- The one click join a meeting URL is genius. Users who struggle with remembering passwords or invites can just click a link and immediately participate in a meeting which means one email and a couple of clicks and a meeting can start.
- Good control features - As the main user, you have many control features including deciding who can speak, annotations, screen sharing easily.
- Screen Recordings to the Cloud - This can save on time when you have had a long conference, you can save a recording to the cloud and download it later.
- There is no free tier version beyond a free trial. It would be good if there was a free version of some sort.
- If you have a large meeting, it can be a bit unstable, whether this is connectivity or the platform itself is hard to say.
- Mobile Apps do not offer the same experience as the web experience, you can find yourself kicked out of a meeting while other participants may still be in the same meeting. Some synergy between the web and mobile apps would be great.
A feature-rich audio conferencing software.
- Join.me has provided us many features that made it possible for us to communicate.
- Another plus point is its staff which is pretty good ‘professional and highly supportive and is always there for help.
- We can also connect with people outside our region and with its advanced functionality we have found it as the best audio conference software than any other software of its type.
- it has made our audio meeting experience very effective.
- There should be a complete guide to understand its features before installation because if one feature will be missed then, we can’t get them working properly.
- Furthermore, there should be high-quality internet for getting its function and it won’t work without good network coverage.
- I think its interface is a little hard for beginners and is not that user friendly.
A Meeting You Won’t Mind Joining
- Screen sharing works very well and especially in today’s climate can help make meetings far more effective.
- I’ve used other platforms like Microsoft Teams that have been incredibly difficult to reliably connect to calls or stay connected. Join.Me has always been stable when in use and very rarely has any hiccups in connecting which is extremely important when conference calls are the only way to communicate.
- The UI is intuitive and user-friendly. It is extremely easy for a new user to pick up and use effectively quickly. I’ve used other platforms where some features are not apparent and you may completely miss, while Join.Me’s UI is easy to navigate and learn quickly.
- Great recording feature which I used for creating product demos that could be shared with our clients so they can see a prospect's question and reactions to different features of the software I am demoing.
- In my experience when using the mobile app the quality drops when on cellular data, even with a strong signal. Given the current challenges, teams Face ID like to see the mobile capabilities get some improvement as it doesn’t seem to be optimized when not on a PC or wireless network.
Join me in a meeting any time, anywhere
- Easy to get potential clients on the demonstration from their site.
- User-friendly platform.
- Customized emails to send over to people with calendar invites attached as well.
- Lag time - I understand it depends on the internet access by both parties but either way can be extremely frustrating.
- Recording a demonstration could be easier.
The best alternative, a shame no-one is using it
Join.me is a great solution for meetings
- Easy to connect.
- Screen sharing.
- The quality of the connection is lacking.
Doesn't require attendees to download a plugin, so makes starting meetings faster and easier
- Most importantly, it's very quick and easy for companies to join. You have a custom URL and you just tell them to go there and follow the directions.
- They do NOT have to download a plugin to see your screen, which makes things a LOT easier. They only have to download the plugin if you want to have them share their screen or give them mouse control.
- It loads pretty quickly and has a lot of local numbers, typically the directions are clear and clients don't have trouble joining.
- Occasionally I have clients who have difficulty joining, I think it may be due to a technical glitch so I'm looking into that.
- As with any screen sharing, sometimes the image lags a lot if either party has a slow internet connection.
Join.me packs the bang in the buck.
- Users don't need to install software to join a meeting. This is a tremendous asset. We are able to just send a link to a customer and they can click to join.
- Join.me can record a video of the meeting.
- Excellent control over the group. You mute individuals or the whole group and share the presenter role quickly.
- Lags *IF* the guest has a poor internet connection and you are doing audio + screen share through the computer. If you do audio via the phone then it's not an issue. By "lag" I meant that when you show a slide, the guest may be seeing the prior slide for a few seconds.
- Lags when you have a large audience. Once I ran a webinar with 200+ people join and once I got past 75 guests people were not able to connect to me anymore.
- Screen sharing capabilities.
- More browser connection options.
- Reliable technology (100pct up time for me, always).
- It never drops calls.
- It's easy to use.
- Ease of use for the mobile app is the only thing I could think of that could be improved a bit in terms of stability, but it’s more the phone service and internet connection that impacts this than the application issues themselves.
- It reduces our license fee.
Join.me in using this great conferencing tool!
- Simple to set up.
- No software needed.
- It's easy to use and share with others.
- Stable connection and connection lags sometimes or delays.
- Reporting for participants.
Join me in using Join.me. You'll love it!
- Works for all levels of users, even those who are not very tech savvy.
- Easy to set up and schedule meetings.
- Navigation as the meeting host is intuitive and straight-forward.
- The audio quality if using the computer for audio can be iffy. It is likely due to slower internet speeds by some of the participants. I always dial in for the audio portion (and recommend the same for others) and it sounds great.
- This might be a little picky, but the invites that come from Join.me can be a little clunky and crammed together.
- Locking in a meeting code is nice, but it can lead to double booking if you aren't careful.
I haven't used it for mass webinars, so I can't speak to how well it works for things like that.
Join.Me, a great tool for quick, short initial remote connections.
- Easy of use for the end user, well-designed webpage.
- Simple, quick download for quick remote connections to workstations.
- Several nice features after obtaining control and overall an efficient tool.
- Technically deficient users sometimes have trouble with the website domain name.
- The connection can be slow at times when trying to obtain mouse and keyboard control.
- Latency when clicking or typing as well as bugs when focusing on specific windows on the remote computer.
Easy, effective, multi-platform collaboration for teams and clients
- Customizable user interface, provides a great opportunity for branding and enhances the user experience.
- Personalized meeting space name for each user. Makes it simple to share and use with clients and multiple users.
- Excellent integration with Outlook and Okta.
- Excellent quality of audio and video for both LAN and WAN.
- Additional music-on-hold selections.
- Automatic authentication with Outlook (as opposed to having to authenticate every time outlook starts).
- Active video scaling or multi-window support on 4K monitors would be a welcome feature.
In applications where many-to-one or many-to-many scenarios are needed, external microphones and PTZ camera integrations are needed to produce good results.USB gateways work particularly well for these kind of integrations.
The Free/Cheap Screensharing Software That Gets The Job Done
- Screen sharing with ease. Simple install and run.
- Seems to disconnect randomly. (No, this is not an Internet issue).
- Small lag occasionally between what's on our screen and what's on the customer's screen.
Join.me works in a pinch!
- Getting connected to customers is easy.
- Fairly fast loading of initial web site.
- File transfers could be easier. Users have to accept the transfer, no drag and drop, etc.
- The screen refresh/redraw is quite slow. Mouse movement can be slow/choppy.
Join.me is a must
- Very easy to use.
- Can be used anywhere, anytime.
- Easy for others to get to, no complicated URL. Quick and easy to find.
- Consistent connection/speed.
- Reporting of visitors (who, how long, etc.).
- Easier ability to share presenter tools.
To remote or to not-remote that is the question.
- Easy to use.
- Very user friendly.
- You can tell even the novice user what to do and they can get connected with no grief at all.
- Shorten the connection time. That may be due to bandwidth issues but at times it takes a while to connect.
- Make it easier to connect with a single sign on between already established connections. Mac address to Mac address maybe??
- It has always utilized a web deployment. This made it easy to get users to share their screen with us and work on their machine.
- Join.me had a simple to use interface. This made it easy for users to share and chat with us about their issues or problems they wanted to discuss with us.
- Join.me always gave free upgrades when they first came out to get more users to buy into using the tool which made it very easy for us to decide if this would be the tool we would use going forward for our demos and support calls.
- Initially join.me didn't have a phone call in number which meant we needed to call our customers directly. Ever since then I have never looked to see if it was ever implemented as the initial expectation has stuck with me.
- It wasn't easy to determine which user was watching my machine. Other systems have a login url PLUS a meeting code. Even though join.me uses a 9 digit code at any time it could be a random internet user looking at your screen. And when a user showed up it would show as user 1.
- Pricing wasn't as competitive as other services.
- This is not a critical issue but some tools like this one don't allow control of apps that require admin access. This at most times is not a big deal but with some support PCs it did become an issue and we had to utilize other tools.
