The GoTo Community is currently experiencing some technical issues affecting new posts and comments. We are actively working with our service provider and apologize for the frustration.
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 ha...
So, after 12 years of using GTW, and even though I have asked for "direct chat" in the past, I've finally decided it is an asset to be able to control what people say by using the Questions Pane for chatting. I actively encourage my participants to use the Questions Pane to comment and share ideas and links. By using the Questions Pane, I get to decide which questions I want to promote to the group, and which I prefer to not promote. That comes in handy when some fool decides to promote his or her product or type gibberish during a webinar. I selectively promote the comments by answering the questions with a blank character using the space bar and clicking on "respond publicly". It works like a charm. It is a lot of work, but it's so much better than someone typing "bababoooeeeeyy" during the webinar!! And, by the way, I really find Adobe Connect unnecessarily clunky.
