Put Your Speakers in the Spotlight đ
Weâre excited to announce a major upgrade to the Presenter Overlay âKnown as Spotlight â across all customers of GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar, and GoToTraining! Presenters can now spotlight any participantâs 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 âSpotlight my cameraâ option in the camera context menu or âSpotlight meâ 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 participantâs name and choose âSpotlight as Speakerâ 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. Spotlight Controls for Presenters by Role Organizers: Can spotlight anyone Panelists: Can spotlight staff members only Attendees: Can only spotlight themselves Note: This is available in the new GoTo Webinar experience.

Hello GoTo Webinar Community! In addition to the new registration page making its debut in September, we have another update to highlight. In-Player Transcripts for GoTo Webinar Recordings To enhance your experience when watching recordings of GoTo Webinar sessions, weâre excited to introduce transcripts directly within the video player. Previously, transcripts were only available outside the video, making them inaccessible during full-screen playback. With this update, you can now follow along with the spoken content as you watchâmaking it easier to engage with your videos. This improvement also advances our commitment to accessibility, helping us make GTW sessions available to a wider audience. Details Below are the main changes that are being introduced: Registrant View: Transcripts are now embedded in recorded videos viewed by session registrants. Organizer View: Transcripts are also available when organizers play GTW recordings from their dashboard. Enhanced Transcript Format for managing large content: Transcripts are divided into manageable segments for better readability. Each segment is no longer than 300 characters. Each segment covers up to 10 seconds of audio. Segments are split at natural language boundaries for a smooth reading experience. Note: This release is available for all GoTo Webinar users. Currently, it supports Tablet and Desktop devices. Mobile device support is planned for a follow-up release in early Q4. Please share your questions, comments and feedback below.Introducing GoTo Webinar new Registration Page
