Easy to use! A+ Highly Recommend!

Can join webinars easily by clicking one link on my iPhone. No issues, no having to type in the webinar number, passcode, etc. I really appreciate how easy it is, especially when I’m traveling! Highly recommend! Thank you for making it so easy unlike many other apps!

Easy to use - no complicated technology to work through

This “GoToWebinar” is amazing! Fast and easy to install directly from the link shown on the screen.
It only took seconds to download and took me directly to my webinar without any password or other info. Very happy & will use again.

Great Webinar App

I attended a class on this app for the first time today. It was easy to connect from the email notice, the video and audio were clear. I had to switch between home bluetooth, my phone speaker, and my car bluetooth. All went well, I could follow the class and see the video presentation.

Clear and simple

I use Zoom, MS Teams, Crowdcast and other apps for webinars. For the presentations I saw today GoToWebinar was 100% adequate. I didn’t require visual interactivity and the questions function was very easy to use. I can’t say this is my go-to app now because each platform has its uses. When chosen thoughtfully, it’s a fine app that is worth trying. It’s certainly less complex than most of its peers, particularly for seniors or those who aren’t comfortable with technology generally.

Webinar and iPhone

I gave 4 stars and not 5 because I had issues seeing videos the demonstrator posted. I could not enable or see videos whatsoever. Also I was not able to comment or post a question to the speaker from my iPhone. Otherwise I could see and hear very well and Webinar did a great job with it Overall. Thank you
Teepa Snow, State serv, Webinar and others who put this session together; Fantastic information for healthcare workers and family members!

Easy to use with just one click!

Super easy to use. Good sound quality and pretty simple interface. No need for a tutorial if you have ever done any sort of remote communications such as Teams or other webinar platforms.
Can comment, raise hand to ask a question, etc. Good for professionals seeking an easy way to convey information through webinars and presentations.

Perhaps it Wasn’t Written for Safari & a Mac

I have a Mac Air and I use Safari. I have the latest versions installed as soon as they are released, but I hate GOTOWEBINAR. Whenever I turn on the app the sound from my computer starts popping and has a lot of static. The only way I can use it is to turn the sound off on my computer and then bring up the app on my iPhone. Once my iPhone is turned on I can watch on my computer and listen through my iPhone. We’ve tried this several times and always get the same results.

If anyone has a better solution, I’d love to hear it.

GoToWebinar on the iPhone

Using the GoToWebinar on my iPhone is fantastic!

It’s fine on my Desktop or Laptop and I would rate that experience at four stars [****] but when I rate the experience on my iPhone it pulls in the fifth star [*****]

No more - digging out the laptop and trying to get connected - just click the link on your iPhone and you are in business! Take screenshots that are saved to photos and they become your notes

Great Performance

I have an iPhone. I clicked on the meeting invite and it took me to a page that said a new version of the app was available. I couldn’t figure out how to bypass to avoid being late for the meeting. I clicked and it took me to the new download page. It took less than 5 seconds and then I connected to my meeting. Quick and easy. I was impressed.

Straightforward & Effective even at 4 AM

Attended a webinar at 4am that was hosted in a different timezone. All I did was wake up, click the link in the email, downloaded to my phone and joined in. Didn’t need to fuss about because like I said 4 AM🥴. Everything was pretty clear save for a couple of disturbances, the format was clean and intuitive because again... 4AM so it didn’t cause me any frustration. Much easier to use than some other webinar services. Especially at 4 AM.

Exceptional!

This webinar was exceptional and I am overly pleased how I was able to interact with the host and team members. The audio was clear, the presentation was crisp, the functionality of the app was effective, manageable, and easy to navigate. I absolutely loved my experience which is typically had from my desktop or surface, and now, from the palm of my hand; cellphone. Thank you!

Extremely handy and convenient!

This was my first time using this application. And it was surprisingly easy. I clicked on the link connecting me to the webinar; and when it asked me to download the application, I did so. Whereupon I was automatically linked immediately to the webinar I wanted. I can understand why it’s such a popular app! Very, very easy to use and extremely convenient!

Prevent meeting disturbance

I wish there was a way to test my connection and the webinar functions before joining a meeting because when I “put my hand up” and got called on by the speaker unmuting my microphone I inadvertently became disconnected from the meeting while stumbling to figure how to get my microphone to work. I missed the answer to my question while trying to reconnect. I was then scared to put up my hand again in fear of disconnection. Otherwise I found the experience and ease of use quite worthy of recommendation.

Above the rest

I have attended many webinars (especially since the shut downs) and this is by far the most clearly presented format. The speaker view was optional - I could resize her screen as I wanted, and the slides section was very clear to view. Questions went smoothly (I asked two and was answered quickly) and feedback was simple and easy. Very good!

Great way to communicate.

I enjoyed the webinar from World Wide Travel. We could type questions and answered right away. Getting on was relatively easy. They tell you to do a test run and during that time you’re able to download their app. Then you go back to the e-mail and just hit join meeting and your on. It tells you if the host hasn’t come on yet and that she’ll be on momentarily. I would use this again, I was pleased listening and seeing pictures, it was almost like a live presentation.

Author Speaker Corporate Trainer

GoToWebinar has been extremely helpful in my weak internet home office! It has turned down time into productive learning experiences.

The variable presentation modes of video, audio over PowerPoint, and interactive features make it memorable. With these tools, it is almost like being there! Though I enjoy seeing other faces on Zoom, sometimes I find that distracting.

For high focus, interactive learning, I rate it 10!

Nice and Easy

I have used a few other type of webinars, this is the first time I have used particular app. It is very easy to use, just download and go. It is easy to figure out how to ask questions, get the attachments, etc. The sound and picture quality are great (remember to turn off your other notifications during the broadcast). I would definitely recommend this app.

Zoom is better

This app used to be the only game in town and as a result they got a little full of themselves and are clearly too slow to adapt to needed changes in the way we now function. I’d say they really missed out on a great opportunity for growth. But they stuck with the same old plan. With this app you simply have to jump through too many hoops to be able to set up a meeting, host, be a panelist, view all of the panelists. It’s ridiculous. With Zoom, you simply download the app, set up a meeting or join the meeting and (snapping my finger) there everybody is! And you can share your screen. No headache. It couldn’t be any more user-friendly. But this app? No, “you have to be administrator to set up a group meeting“ nonsense. What is that anyway?? Especially when it is almost impossible to become an “administrator.”I must’ve spent an hour trying to figure out how I become an administrator. Is that a paid feature or something? I’ll be happy if I never have to open this outdated dinosaur of an inconvenience again.

Totally impressed by this platform!

I just started using this platform about 3 months ago & I wish I knew about it sooner!

The clarity of both the video and audio is quite resilient, even when my bandwidth or cellular connections are fluctuating.

I highly recommend it to anyone or any organization looking to use a reliable AV web hosting platform.

Best

Clearest picture and audio of any meeting platform I have participated in since schools shut down March 13. No blurriness or messed up sound. Like watching tv, very clear picture and sound. I attend a minimum of 7 meetings or webinars a week. Most of my meetings meet on a Google platform, which is horrible. A few on Zoom, not bad, some small issues occasionally. Only one company uses this platform. Far superior. No issues at all.
