Description: 

GoToMeeting is an online web conferencing tool that allows up to 15 users and a host to meet and collaborate securely on the web and on the phone. After installing the GoToMeeting software on the meeting host's computer, the host can invite users to participate in an online meeting on the GoToMeeting website that can be accessed though any Java-enabled web browser as well as through the phone. The software provides audio for all participants either through free integrated VoIP services or through toll-based phone conferencing using a randomly generated area code and phone number.

GoToMeeting could be helpful for nonprofits with users that need to conduct meetings with remote users, give impromptu presentations, or provide online training to volunteers or other users. The meeting host can share the host computer's desktop with attendees for both viewing and collaboration, allowing all web participants to see the same slide show, desktop, or selected application in their web browsers.

The host can change presenters or transfer control of the keyboard and mouse to other attendees so they can work on the host computer as if sitting in front of it. Participants can communicate with each other through GoToMeeting's chat features or through a simultaneous audio conference as described above.

Security features include secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption on the GoToMeeting website, Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128-bit encryption of the data stream, including keyboard and mouse input, and multiple passwords.

This donation provides a one-year subscription for hosting unlimited online meetings with up to 15 attendees. The subscription may be renewed through TechSoup by requesting this product again up to four times, for a total of five years. Standard long-distance rates will apply for hosts or attendees who call the toll-based conference phone number randomly generated by GoToMeeting.

This donation includes phone and email support and access to online help files, training videos, and user guides 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

When your request has been approved, a promotional code and instructions for registering with GoToMeeting will be sent to your organization's email address.
