Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This organization currently utilizes ClickMeeting as a mode of education for our member base. A single department manages the software at our headquarters but ultimately serves the entire organization. A number of business problems are addressed through our use of ClickMeeting including member education, leadership training, and volunteer management.

Pros and Cons

The interface is user-friendly. After launching a new design, ClickMeeting has become easier than ever before to navigate.
The options provided within ClickMeeting are practical, but allow your video or webinar to elevate to the next level. Integrations like YouTube, whiteboard and screen sharing make the user experience engaging and interactive.

When uploading PowerPoints to the software, formatting is often adjusted automatically by ClickMeeting. This could be fonts being adjusted, shapes or images moving or sizing issues as well.
The trim tool for recordings does not seem to match the level of functionality as the rest of ClickMeeting. Trimming a few seconds from a video can be more time-consuming than expected. Also, playing the recording after a trim seems more challenging than simply hitting play.

Return on Investment

ClickMeeting has lent itself as a great tool, especially now for training purposes. This organization has volunteers across the world, so having one place to meet provides a level of convenience that cannot be compared. At this time, at least 70% of our geographic leaders are participating in training webinars provided through ClickMeeting.

Alternatives Considered

Vimeo and Whereby

Vimeo is the closest competitor to our organization. Vimeo hosts our online video library and luckily, it communicates with ClickMeeting well. If the demand for live webinars no longer existed, Vimeo would be next in line. However, at this time ClickMeeting remains our #1 due to integration, ease of access and design.

Other Software Used

Vimeo, Whereby, Microsoft Teams

Likelihood to Recommend

ClickMeeting has served our organization well as a method of delivering education to members. It has been utilized for live webinars where participants can interact with topic experts and ask questions to learn more about the given topic. ClickMeeting has also been used professionally as a means of training organizational leaders and other volunteers and employees. On-demand webinars are now able to be offered by our organization because of ClickMeeting. ClickMeeting may not be well-suited for organizations that have a low demand for online learning/opportunities. Also, ClickMeeting may not be well-suited for organizations that have outdated websites, as embedding the videos may be more difficult.
