    Since you were the attendee, it would be the admin on the vendor's account who would need to enable it for them to use in their meeting that you joined. In the case of a single user/license GoToMeeting account, the Organizer is typically also the Admin of the account.

Hi GTM254, welcome to the community.

 

Yes, the GoTo App supports remote control and Attendees can request control once the admin on your account enables the feature: How do I use Remote Control?

    So curious as to what you mean "once an admin enables in our account?"

    Would he need it enabled in his GoTo account?

     

    I cannot see how I can enable in my account, because the end user is not logged into GoTo, but just joining a meeting.

        Why do they have to do that for GoTo and not GoToMeeting app?
