Application Screen Sharing Limitations in New GoToMeeting Version
Hi GoToMeeting Team, I'm writing to express some frustration with the current version of the application. As a host, I frequently need to share a specific application window during meetings. However, unlike the previous version, the current setup does not allow associated pop-up or option windows from that application to be visible to attendees. This limitation seriously impacts my ability to present effectively. The workaround provided by support—to share my entire screen—is not a viable solution. Doing so would violate my company’s privacy policy, as it may inadvertently display and record confidential information. Being able to have multiple windows from the same application visible while sharing is critical to our workflow. Please consider restoring this functionality or providing an alternative that maintains both usability and compliance with privacy requirements. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Is the Rectangle feature still available?
I can't see the Labs option any longer, despite using ctrl+shift+L to add the option back. Is there another way to get access to the Rectangle feature, or is there another way to share virtual zones/displays as if they were a separate physical display? I need to share multiple applications, but have an ultrawide monitor, so sharing the entire screen isn't going to work. I would love to either share the virtual zones I created with Microsoft's PowerToys FancyZones or else have some other way to share just a portion of my screen and ALL applications that are on that portion.
Please Improve the timer tool
Dear Team, I'd suggest, that you improve the timer tool. Right now, you can set up a timer from about 0 - 10 minutes. If a set 2 minute timer runs up, you will be able to restart the timer. Though, in case the timer is stopped at 1:30 for example, there is no way to reset the timer directly on 2 minutes other then again set up a completely new 2 minute timer. This is highly appreciated. Cheers and Thx
Landscape mode needed for tablet/mobile
We faced an unacceptable issue with the GoTo app on the tablet. We cannot normally conduct meetings and demos with our customers. Which makes it impossible to use GoTo app further. If one user (user A) is sharing the screen from the desktop app, the user on the tablet (user B) can see it only on the half of the screen. The other half of the screen is just dark space. It is impossible to see what is being shown. The issue persists on both iOS (023.06.2) and Android (2023.06.1).Hide a specific user's camera view
It would be wonderful to be able to hide or minimize individual users' video feeds when looking at Active Cameras. Attendees' backgrounds or actions can be very distracting, so being able to toggle the visibility of their video feeds (hide/unhide) would make for a much more enjoyable conferencing experience.
Sending files / file sharing during the broadcast
Frequently, during the meeting we would like to share files to respective team member. It would be nice if Gotomeeting has this feature. Our current workaround is to make someone presenter just to show one file and take control back but it is not the right way,
tool bar size (minimize)
Are there plans to allow the presenter to shrink the tool bar to an icon or hide it? We use a graphics based software with many tool icons for meetings. These are obscured by the oversized GoToMeeting tool bar. I am constantly having to move it around out the way. If it could be minimized and reinstated with a shortcut, it would be much easier to use.
Request keyboard / mouse control in new GoTo app
I used the new fangled desktop app experience with a customer for the first time today. I was frustrated to find that the ability to request guest screen share and guest mouse control from the contextual menu next to the guest's name was absent. I wasted a lot of time in the meeting as a result! I spoke to tech support who told me this functionality is coming but is not yet available in the new app. I don't recall this reduced functionality being made clear upfront anywhere and I don't recall being given a warning. LogMeIn - please make these limitations more clear to avoid frustration and wasted time.View speaker notes in PowerPoint when using one monitor
When using PowerPoint, if you have multiple monitors, you can designate a monitor to view your speaker notes, and the other one (geared for the audience) would only see the slide deck. With only one monitor, you cannot view your speaker notes. I would like to think that if I am presenting a gotomeeting, there are multiple monitors involved. It would be a great patch if the gotomeeting module counted as a virtual monitor so I could designate my monitor shows the speaker notes while the audience only saw the presentation. I know, I can print the notes or view them on another device... I am just saying, this addition to gotomeeting would be very convenient.
