Bring back Red pointer (Spotlight tool)
We need you to bring back the red circular pointer from the original version. We are a landscape construction firm who uses the platform to present CAD and photo concept images to clients. The red pointer was the only instrument we used while using GoToMeeting as we hover over all the new elements of our designs. Clients typically use GTM on their tablets and are unable to follow or see our cursor when we present due to their smaller screen size. We even tried increasing the size of our cursor and/or changing the color of it, but unfortunately your program defaults it to the standard small size white center, black outlined cursor. A further concern is when we present our second monitor, the cursor is not visible on the attendees monitor. This was not a problem on the prior version. Why were these basic items removed from the new version, please return them to the platform. We are aware of the highlighting tool on the new version, but it is overkill for our needs. A simple red pointer is essential. Thanks moderator edit: title for clarity
Interactive Drawing Feature is Lost in the New GoTo
The interactive/collaborative drawing feature from the old GoToMeeting is now completely disabled and is sorely missed by our company and our many collaborators worldwide — designers, fabricators, engineers. We cannot have functional conferences without this feature. Before, multiple participants could draw simultaneously on an image/document shared by the presenter, each in a different pen color. Now only the presenter can draw on the presenter's own screen. It is a tremendous loss for what used to be a standout and unique application! Please bring this back!
Suggestions for better drawing tools
Good evening! We have been using the new GoTo Meeting stuff today. I would like to make some suggestions about the drawing tools. I would like to speak with someone regarding the size of the drawings (way too big - it felt like using a huge highlighter, even with the smallest size - I'd love a small thin line or drawing tool like the classic pen tool). We also noticed that there were no right click options, on the pen tools. Those were very handy. I used those to switch colors, flip between mouse pointer and pen, and erase all drawings. I'd love to see those come back in to play. The other item of concern was the actual drawings themselves. I felt like the new drawings were much more edgy and not as smooth (missing pieces or adding tapered ends when they weren't wanted). Anyways, I use the drawing tools a ton for my presentation. I would love to give some input there. On positive side, I did like the undo option and also the size selection. I also liked the semitransparent options. I just wish we could choose an even smaller brush size.
