GoToMeeting is a Web-hosted service created and marketed by Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems. It is a remote meeting and desktop sharing software that enables the user to meet with other computer users, customers, clients or colleagues via the Internet in real-time.

Technology

GoToMeeting was designed to allow the desktop view of a host computer to be broadcast to a group of computers connected to the host through the Internet. Transmissions could be protected with high-security encryption and optional passwords. By combining a Web-hosted subscription service with software installed on the host computer, transmissions could be passed through highly restrictive firewalls.[1]

History

GoToMeeting was developed in July 2004 by Citrix Online of Santa Barbara, California. In September 2009, Citrix Online and Rotary International announced a partnership to offer Rotary clubs and their members Citrix GoToMeeting to meet, collaborate and communicate via the Web.[2]

Editions and features

GoToMeeting has been sold in two editions - Personal and Corporate - providing increasing service management capabilities. Version 4, released in 2008, maintains these editions, providing Macintosh support for meeting hosts and VoIP integration. Software is installed by logging on to the GoToMeeting Web site. GoToMeeting software is compatible with Microsoft Explorer versions 6.0 and above, Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and above and on Macintosh Safari 3.0 and above. GoToMeeting features[3] in all editions include:

  • End to end encryption and authentication security provided by a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Web site with end-to-end 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and optional passwords
  • Specific application sharing for showing only selected programs with attendees
  • 24-bit color when accessing a host PC supporting this display mode
  • Multi-monitor support for a client PC
  • Meeting recording and playback for recording and saving meetings to a user desktop for later review
  • Total audio package provides toll based phone or conferencing via VoIP.
  • GoToMeeting hosts up to 15 users and one organizer while GoToMeeting Corporate offers up to 25 users with multiple organizer option.

GoToMeeting in context

GoToMeeting took the remote access and screen sharing technology from GoToMyPC and GoToAssist and extended it to allow collaborative meetings over the Web. Subsequently, GoToWebinar expanded GoToMeeting capabilities to accommodate larger audiences.
