What's New With GoTo Meeting - November
Hi Everyone, we are excited to announce these features now available in GoTo Meeting! Introducing GoTo Meeting Quick Polls A long-standing customer request, Quick Polls is an in-session, on-the-fly polling capability for GoTo Meeting that boosts engagement and enables fast alignment on topics that arise unexpectedly during a session. Organizers and co-organizers can create, launch and modify polls without disrupting screen sharing, collect anonymous votes, and share results instantly! Key Details: Instantly create and launch single or multiple choice polls during your meeting. Vote anonymously for added privacy. Update and edit existing polls before you send them out to your participants. Enjoy a non-intrusive polling panel on the left side of your screen—so your meeting content stays front and center. Both organizers and co-organizers have the power to create and launch polls. Participants can vote easily, and organizers can quickly share results with the group. Launching a Poll Click on Tools from the bottom bar, select Polls. This will launch Polls sidebar. There, you can Create Single/Multiple choice polls, Save, Edit, and Launch them on the go! Creating a Poll Click on the Single choice poll or multiple-choice poll option. A minimum of 2 options is required to create polls and a maximum of 5 poll options can be added. Launch and Edit Polls Poll can be launched and edited by clicking on the created Poll or from the 3-dot menu Once the Poll is launched, the results of the poll can be shared with the participants of the session Please Note: Mobile attendees will not be able to participate in the quick polls at this time. When using this feature, an alert message will be displayed to the organizer when an attendee joins via mobile, that they will not be able to participate in the poll. AI Chatbot for In-Session Support We’ve launched an AI-powered chatbot that provides real-time, in-session support. Hosts and attendees can now get instant answers to common questions and troubleshooting help without needing to leave the room or wait for staff! Key Details: Available in GoTo app version 0.707.0 or above The AI chatbot is available in-session for both hosts and participants via the more icon (3 dots) on top bar. Here you can ask questions, get links to relevant help articles, and troubleshoot common issues. This will reduce interruptions for hosts and speed up problem resolution for attendees. Please note: The chatbot does not handle complex, account-specific or billing questions yet - those are routed to traditional support channels. Also check out AI Summaries, now in Beta! We’re excited to introduce new AI Summary for GoTo Meeting with new UI and better prompt. This enhancement benefits GoTo Meeting organizers and attendees by significantly improving the quality, clarity, and usability of AI-generated meeting summaries in GoTo Meeting.

We’re excited to announce a major upgrade to the Presenter Overlay —Known as Spotlight — across all customers of GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, and GoToTraining! Presenters can now spotlight any participant’s camera on top of their presentation, driving engagement and helping everyone focus on the key speaker. ✨ How Does It Work? Spotlight a Presenter Toggle the “Spotlight my camera” option in the camera context menu or “Spotlight me” on the presenter camera feed to add a presenter from Spotlight. Remove presenter camera from Spotlight using the same menu options. Presenters who stop sharing their screen or camera are automatically removed from Spotlight. Don't cover the presentation: Attendees can hover over the Spotlight presenter (your cursor will become a hand) to move the Spotlight to any chosen spot on the screen. Spotlight Another Speaker In the camera grid or people panel, select a participant’s name and choose “Spotlight as Speaker” from the context menu. After confirming your selection, their video feed will be prominently spotlighted for all attendees. Note: This option is only available if the participant is currently sharing their camera. Remove them from Spotlight using the same menu. For more information on the spotlight feature see: How do I share my camera How do I share my screen We would love to hear your feedback or questions in the comments below!Introducing Localized Transcripts for GoTo Meeting
We are excited to introduce a new feature this week: Transcript Localization, which leverages AI to automatically generate transcripts in native/local languages as selected by the Host for cloud-based recordings in GoTo Meetings. Now, Whether it’s a crucial business meeting, a conference call, or a brainstorming session, you can capture every word spoken accurately even when the conversation is in non-english (in native/local) language. Please note, The above option works well when the entire meeting is in one language only. We have seen quality compromises and unnecessary translations in case there are multiple languages being used in a meeting. We have also introduced a new Beta option i.e. Adaptive which automatically detects the transcription language from the initial Audio (Origin) clip and uses the same language to generate transcripts respectively. How to change transcription language ? Click on Profile logo (top-right corner) Click on Settings In Settings, Navigate to Meetings → Content section Use Drop-Down to select appropriate Transcription language Find out more about this feature here.
