GoToMeeting 2.0, offers productivity enhancements to help virtual meetings and the like flow better.
Product Description:
"GoToMeeting 2.0 uses patented technology to allow anyone, including customers and coworkers, to view any application running on a presenting computer in real time. Users, after the automatic setup and with no configuration or training, can host on the fly or scheduled meetings. Attendees can come into a meeting via Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes and various instant messenger applications.
A number of new features make GoToMeeting 2.0 a huge step up from the previous version. The program offers the ability to record your meeting session — including audio — for later playback, which can be beneficial for future training sessions. There's a feature to share only the specific application being used instead of the entire desktop, which prevents distractions and provides privacy to the presenter's desktop. Drawing tools are a new add in as well, allowing the presenter and attendees to draw, highlight and point to items which are of interest on screen."
