GotoMeeting / GotoWebinar Mac Support
Posted on 2:57 pm by Paul ColliganI love the GotoMeeting and GotoWebinar products. The one thing they were missing was that they didn’t have Mac (or had very limited) support.
That all changed today.
GotoMeeting and GotoWebinar not only now run on the Mac platform but they also have a very cool VOIP option for both presenters and participants.
Tomorrow’s New Media Mindset Webinar will be done from a Mac. I couldn’t be more thrilled.
Give it a try, here are a few cool links:
If you’ve been following me for anytime, you’ll know of my fondness for creating training live in front of an audience and then distributing the recording by Podcast (that’s the plan for tomorrow’s event too). I used to have to keep a PC around (and have VMWare Fusion installed on this Macbook) as it was truly the last application I needed on my work machine every day. That has changed.
I’ll be reporting more in the future, but I thought I’d keep you in the loop.

Paul -
I just helped a client do a webinar on GoToWebinar this morning and I have to say that there are definite limitations on a Mac in terms of hosting, AND you cannot record if you are on a Mac.
If this has changed in the last few hours, I would love to know about it.
In terms of the recording, we had one of our presenters who was on a PC record it. It turned out great, so he says, because even though I got the file and the audio is fine, the screen is black when I look at on my iMac.
Your thoughts?

Just noticed that your original post was from September. Would love to know what your experience was for the New Media Mindset Webinar that you did on September 18th.

We have some gotwebinar events that we recorded in windows media player format. We have Mac clients who are not able to view these recorded files, they just get audio. GTW’s support just says that it should work.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
