GoToWebinar: Dynamic Easy Digital Events
- Analytics
- Pre-event information
- Screensharing & recording
- Breakout rooms
- Personal brand customisation
- Data collection
Moreover, it's excellent for businesses conducting regular webinars for lead generation, sales presentations, or educational purposes. Its analytics help in assessing attendee engagement and refining content strategies.
However, it might be less appropriate for smaller, more intimate meetings where real-time collaboration and video conferencing take precedence over one-to-many presentations. In such cases, simpler and more direct communication tools might be preferred.
Additionally, if a company requires highly specialised integrations or customisation options beyond what GoToWebinar offers, they might find limitations within the platform. Lastly, for organisations with stringent security needs or those operating in highly regulated industries, they might need to ensure that GoToWebinar's security measures align with their specific compliance requirements before use.

GoTo Webinar Review
- Real-time surveys which are great for assessing participant engagement
- Event communications
- Integrating with CRM
- Mobile user experience could be improved
- Integration with some other products
- Delivering training/ keynotes/ to large teams
- Promotional training and industry specific webinars
Less appropriate

A tool for my human resources department.
- Simple main dashboard suitable for scheduling conferences.
- The tools are simple to share information.
- Robust live chat
- It's been 5 years without problems
Powerful tool for videoconferencing and remote learning
- Manage screen sharing
- Manage live chat stream
- Manage audio settings of the participants
- Larger chat space
- Possibility to download screen content immediately
- Switch from differen screens
Not the best tool to stream videos from third party-souces, but well suited in case of presentations, like PPT and PDF. Best for conferencing on any topic that does imply passive learning by listening.
Seamless Engagement
- Robust Video Streaming
- Interactive Chat Feature
- Seamless Resource Download Access
- Email Reminder Customization
- Improved Mobile Experience
Goto Webinar is great for small & medium sized business who are looking to get started

- Super-simple to use and enjoy!
- If GoTo Webinar had an area that needed improvement, I have yet to find it!
Meeting without in-person energy
- It's simple for me as the one giving the online course and for the participants.
- many participants can be meet by GoTo webinar platforms easily with a good features too
- it has a good quality of audio and video recording
- its price and platform is too easy to use it for anyone
- it does not integration with others platforms of some social medias
- it has much price
- Nothing more dislike
GoTo Webinar if you'd like your Webinar to success
We build physical product and support is essential either it's in house technician or external.
- It's extremely easy to contact and send invitation the webinar required and the control is very intuitive
- Ability to track attendance and from the data we can generate very useful graph and vis for our metrics
- Multi presenter webinar are also useful in cases where there are multiple presenters
- Dashboard for control are mostly intuitive but in some menus like the webcasting section can be cluttered
- The current polling and survey capabilities are too simple. More advanced features, such as branching logic and real-time results, would make engagement more dynamic and insightful.
- Although it's easy for organiser to use goto webinar, users have reported issues and long wait time on their end and they don't have much control over the session
For internal meetings with a few participants, simpler video conferencing solutions like Zoom or Google Meet might be more convenient and easy to setup. If GoTo Webinar has a simpler, lightweight version, it might be more attractive to replace zoom or meet
GoTo Webinar review
- Webinar without a client, ready to use from the internet and with a browser
- Webinar to a large audience, to allow users to see the webinar asynchronically
- Webinar to allow for Q&A with participants, when you need some level of control on the question that are being asked (to review, edit or censor them and withouth them available to everyone)
- User experience on web version still need improvement in order to have more clarity on Q&A and other sections
- Incorporate some level of interaction with audience, either thru Polls or Reactions like in other meeting tools
If you need your audience to participate or be engaged with the seminar, you would need adittional tools on top of GoTo Webinar, or use different tools-
GoToWebinar: it increased our audience and so can you
- The webinars are easy to set up and schedule
- Admin controls during the webinar are easy to use and pretty self-explanatory
- Automatic recordings are great.
- Attendee/registration reports are helpful
- You can't blur your background when using a webcam. Zoom has been doing this forever and this seems like a pretty big omission.
- Invited panelists can't test their screenshare/audio/video on their own so we have to schedule sessions to do this.
- We have a lot of repeat speakers/panelists, not having the ability to save their information for easy access can be a pain.
- You can't add hyperlinks or attach files to the automated attendee/registrant emails.
- You only get one login per license and cannot substitute emails. This is a real pain if the licensed person needs someone else to run a webinar every now and then because only the licensed person receives the backup panelist invites. Even being able to add a cced individual to those emailed invites would be a big help.
A downside is that you cannot embed links or attach files to those emails. We send out disclosure/conflict of interest statements to all attendees prior to the sessions starting and being able to include those as attachments in the reminder emails would be great. You cannot blur your webcam background. Almost all of our panelists want that option and they usually say "Zoom can do it" when I say it's unavailable.

GoTo Webinar and Access to Educational Benefits
- Easy to connect and use as someone attending a webinar
- Provides a variety of presentation options that makes participating in a webinar engaging
- In my experience, it tends to be glitchy at times.
- User interface may not be as well known to some users as other platforms so making user options as clear and easy to use as possible is key
GoTo Webinar -- More Trustworthy Than Zoom
- Responsive to customers changing needs
- Maintenance of video library
- Not raising prices or trying to upsell with every communication
- Social usage like Zoom did so that Zoom became more accepted because it was pushed on the individual sale with a "free" option until it became the normalized product
- Having 1 login for billing, Meetings and webinar and being able to select the product after login rather than having 3 different sites
