"Best Way to Replay Videos for Group Meetings, Coaching, Training, etc."

4.5/5

What do you like best about GoTo Webinar?

Up until recently, I'd only been using GoToMeeting but needed to replay some video content for my team as part of training and coaching calls and GTM does not support that very well. After speaking with a LogMeIn support rep, it was clear that I could achieve my objective using GoToWebinar instead. I've since held a number of very successful meetings, sharing 3rd party video during those calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoTo Webinar?

I wish the platform would accept video formats other than .mp4 since many of the videos I want to play on the session are in other formats such as .wmv and need to be converted, which adds another cumbersome process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GoTo Webinar solving and how is that benefiting you?

Presentation of video had previously been very challenging. I would have to play the video and put my headset mic near my desktop monitor speakers for my participants to hear, which didn't always work well. Now, I'm able to embed those videos right in my webinar and play them in-session, which works well. This has resulted in much more successful training and coaching sessions.

"The worst platform you can go with"

0/5

What do you like best about GoTo Webinar?

Backend is easy to manage webinars for organizers. Pulling reports is fairly simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoTo Webinar?

GoToWebinar is the most basic webinar tool that offers nothing more than any other tool. Customer support is impossible to reach and is completely outsourced. When you do get a hold of them, they are never any help.

Example of this: None of my speakers had the option to turn on their webcam. I had no idea why and submitted a support ticket. They had to escalate the ticket 3 times until I realized it was an option the account administrator had to turn on, so I had to solve my own ticket. When trying to upgrade a license, it took two weeks to hear back.

I am at a point where I anticipate that at least one of my speakers will run into an issue that is no fault of their own. Most recently, their microphones will not work. The microphone will be listed, but nothing will come out. Other times they can't view the screenshare, or they have trouble joining at all.

I have had several registrants tell me they will not attend a webinar of ours until we switch our platform, since it gave them so much trouble.

We have several webinars a week, meaning this platform has issues constantly.

The virtual backgrounds do not work most of the time, as it has poor human detection and will sometimes cover up the individual. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GoTo Webinar is the answer for a stable webinar experience"

5/5

What do you like best about GoTo Webinar?

The biggest upside for using GoTo Webinar is the lack of issues our audiences run into when joining and/or attending our events. It's easy to use and doesn't require that anyone downloads an application to enter meetings/webinars. With other platforms, folks are instructed to download a program which may not be an acceptable method of participating in e-learning when they have strict firewalls or internet policies at their workplaces. Additionally, other platforms constantly run into compatibility issues when they do allow for access via browser, when browsers are updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoTo Webinar?

There aren't as many integrations as other platforms, but I think that may be what makes it consistently work! For instance, you can't embed streams on your website or video sharing platforms without third-party solutions, whereas you can easily achieve that with others. The stability is a tradeoff for sure though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
