Although many of you may have participated in a GoToMeeting, some have been missing out on this great "remote" conferencing tool. It saves a lot of driving!
GoToMeeting is an electronic conference room. To participate in a meeting requires you to do two steps: log onto the site, so you can see the screen display of the presenter; and call into the site, either with your computer-attached mic and headphone or a standard telephone. Once you have completed both of these steps, you will be a full participant in the meeting.
When you are invited to a GoToMeeting (GTM), you will received a link--just click it--and dial-in information. You can join in the GoTo app, or right in your web browser if the organizer allows it. GoTo recommends Chrome or Edge for the browser version.
If you are "calling" in with your headset and microphone that are attached to your computer, no need to dial, after you have logged onto the meeting, simply click the radio button "Use Mic & Speakers", in the Audio portion of the GTM control panel that pops up on your screen. If you are dialing in with a standard telephone, use the numbers from the invitation to call, enter the access code (also from your invitation), and then enter the audio PIN shown in the meeting window, if asked.
If you are having audio difficulties or excessive latency in screen displays, we have found that performance is better if you log in to view the screens, but dial in for audio.
As a courtesy to other participants, please make sure that your phone or computer mic is mutable. If you are not speaking, please keep your phone muted in order to reduce background noise.
