Can you have attendees in GoToWebinar talk or text "chat" to each other during a live 500 attendee event??
If you can't - PLEASE - change it so they can. It is terrible that there is no way to have the attendees interact with each other -
We have a weekly webinar on the same day, and same time EVERY week. Our clients like to be able to come to the event and interact with each other - and with the GoToMeeting there is no way to do that.
Only the organizer can see the "Questions" from attendees.
Let us know if there are plans to FIX this, thanks!
- I'd be happy to talk with developers. For our company, we are fostering community, so the ability for participants to chat together is a must have feature. We've used other webinar software with this feature, and out engagement levels, and repeat attendee rates are MUCH higher.
- Call me 202-452-1989 x 105 or email me at rebecca@consumeradvocates.org.
- office@zimtfilm.at - we love your service but our client wants to switch to another webinar provider ( just because of the chat function) Can you please provide this function asap?
- I'm interested in speaking with the developers. email me.
- I would LOVE to have this feature available without promoting attendees to presenter status (which gives them all controls I don't want them to have). I would also be very interested in talking to anyone from Citrix about this or participating in any research required.
Prior to signing up with GTW, we used another provider, here in Australia and we had the chat facility available for all attendees to interact with each other. The feedback was that our webinars were much more engaging, particularly during webinars that required attendees to respond to other attendees' comments and questions.
I would like to see an option for the organiser to select say 'allow all attendees to use chat' and if this is not selected, then only staff can use the chat as is currently the default. - This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Hey all. Just wondering when GoToWebinar will allow the chat feature for everyone....
Chat Feature for GoToWebinar - Still hoping to see an update on this. We are considering moving to a much more painful service to get this feature.
- Add me to the list. The Q&A/Chat thing in GTW is cumbersome, to say the least. We use a competitor product as well because it's got a chat option. But it has other features I don't like in some cases (inability to see how many attendees are logged on and waiting for start, for example). Still, those features are outweighed by the lack of chat in GTW, so we will not be renewing GTW.
Running a separate twitter feed is not the answer here. And the fact that people have been asking for this feature for years and there is still no movement tells me Citrix doesn't give a crap what many users are asking for. Heck, chat can be disabled by default, but let us make the decision whether to make it available or not.... - Any update on this? We are in our free trial and like most features of GtW, but the lack of open chat is a dealbreaker.
- Meg,Is it too late to talk with developers about this? I am always happy to talk with the team. I have done it a few times already.
