Hi KateG,

 

any news on this issue?

Basically all our speakers of our daily hybrid seminars would like to have the cameras of online participants always on top on the screen so the in situ participants can also see the online participants - as it was with older versions of G2M, same applies to the Chat window.

I assume that we are not the only ones missing this feature badly.

    Hi

     

    Any idea of timing for this please? It is so frustrating that we are now researching alternatives rather than staying with GoTo Meeting.

     

    Thanks

      Hi, we will post an update here once the new release is available. If you are the Presenter sharing your screen and you do not have a 2nd screen to move the webcams window to, clicking on the webcam icon on the toolbar will bring the webcams window to the front.

        One of the reasons why online meeting software appeals is being able to host /attend a meeting from anywhere so the use of 2 screens just to be able to view participants isn't feasible.

        We want our employees to be able to host a meeting from just a laptop
