Technology

GoToMeeting is designed to broadcast the desktop view of a host computer to a group of computers connected to the host through the Internet. Transmissions are protected with high-security encryption and optional passwords. By combining a web-hosted subscription service with software installed on the host computer, transmissions can be passed through highly restrictive firewalls.

History

GoToMeeting was developed in July 2004 by the Online Services division of Citrix in Santa Barbara, California, using the remote access and screen sharing technology from GoToMyPC and GoToAssist to allow web conferencing. The later release of GoToWebinar in 2006 and GoToTraining in 2010 expanded GoToMeeting capabilities to accommodate larger audiences.

Online meetings

Online meetings are the most basic of functionalities that web conferencing tools provide. GoToMeeting has standard online meeting functionalities such as desktop sharing. This is mainly used when a presenter has information to share, e.g., a PowerPoint slide show. The presenter may perform a task in real time so the attendees can watch the necessary steps to perform the task.

Limitations

GoToMeeting:

  • Desktop application does not work on Linux
  • Does not support the conferencing of in-room systems or bridges to its meetings; organizations with a traditional video conferencing infrastructure (SIP/h.323 codecs) must instead connect via a mobile device or PC/laptop with a webcam

GoToMeeting with HDFaces

In 2011, Citrix released GoToMeeting with HDFaces, adding high-definition video conferencing support to the web conferencing service. Up to six users can show their webcam streams at a time.
