"Radio" buttons to quickly switch between previously shared windows

"Radio" buttons to quickly switch between previously shared windows

I often have to join meetings using other meeting products so I am somewhat familiar with common features. Of course, GoToMeeting is my strong preference because of the rectangle sharing feature which makes it easy to switch between the many windows I share on my large, 4k screen. I often have to show Word requirements docs, Mockups, PDFs and various browser tabs which I drag into the rectangle.

 

You already have my +1 to remember the last rectangle size/location.

 

My suggestion is this:

Rather than me drag apps into the rectangle, I could place them around the each of my main screens.

 

1. Every time I share a window, add a side "tab" to your control panel to represent that window.

2. When I want to go back to a previously shared window, I just click the small tab that was created the first time that window was shared.

3. I suggest to show the app's icon in the tab and hovering would show the window title so I know I'm about to switch to the correct instance of PDF or Word etc.

 

Now I can see all windows AND quickly switch between the ones I am using in this meeting.

I may even pre-load these windows/tabs before attendees join the meeting.

 

Future - you can grow into this over time if proven popular:

1.  Pre-define my favorites and make the available tabs as default meeting setting. If the referenced app is not running then disable that tab until it is running. (Or double-click or ctrl-click would launch that app)

2. Eventually have meeting profiles of defined tab groups for different types of meetings to share different types of windows.

This scenario is already covered by the application sharing feature in GoTo Meeting.
