GoTo Meeting

From GoTo (formerly LogMeIn), GoTo Meeting is an online meeting, desktop sharing, and video conferencing software that enables users to connect via the internet, with real-time screen sharing and integrated audio.

What is GoTo Meeting?

GoTo Meeting is the survivor of the original web conferencing wave, a product from GoTo (formerly LogMeIn) that has been hosting online meetings since the days when it was the category-defining tool. It offers HD video, screen sharing, one-click recording, integrated audio, and a joining experience that reviewers consistently call the easiest of any meeting tool — attendees click a link and they are in, no account required. TrustRadius rates it 8.7 out of 10 across more than 1,900 reviews, and it still wins Top Rated awards in web and video conferencing. The honest picture is that it has been overtaken by Zoom, Teams, and Meet in features and mindshare; reviewers who stay with it value the simplicity and the professional feel, while the complaints are about an interface that confuses new users, a mobile app that drops connections, and a pricing model with no free tier. For a business that wants a simple, professional, reliable meeting tool and does not need the enormous feature surface of Zoom or the Microsoft ecosystem, GoTo Meeting remains a perfectly solid choice — just do not expect the cutting edge.

• Teams that want reliable screen sharing and no meeting time limits
• Businesses with older or less technical staff who need easy-to-join meetings

Who is it NOT for?

• Teams that want the latest features — virtual backgrounds, custom layouts, AI notes
• Anyone who wants a free hosting tier — GoTo Meeting has a trial, not a free plan
• Heavy mobile users — the app is less stable than Zoom's or Teams'
• Organizations deeply invested in Microsoft 365 — Teams is already included
• Budget-first buyers — Zoom and Meet undercut it on price
