GoTo Meeting, previously known as GoToMeeting, is a web conferencing tool developed by GoTo.[2] This online meeting software is designed for business and professional use and enables users to host and join virtual meetings, share screens, collaborate in real-time, and communicate through audio and video.
In late 2015, Citrix announced plans to spin off the GoTo Meeting business as a standalone subsidiary with a market value around $4 billion.[3] In July 2016, Citrix and LogMeIn disclosed their agreement to merge the GoTo line of products.[4]
Technology
GoTo Meeting is designed to broadcast the desktop view of a host computer to a group of computers connected to the host through the Internet. Transmissions are protected with high-security encryption and optional passwords. By combining a web-hosted subscription service with software installed on the host computer, transmissions can be passed through highly restrictive firewalls.[5]
History
GoTo Meeting was developed in July 2004 using the remote access and screen sharing technology from GoToMyPC and LogMeIn Resolve (then GoToAssist) to allow web conferencing.[6] The later release of GoTo Webinar in 2006 and GoTo Training in 2010 expanded GoTo Meeting capabilities to accommodate larger audiences. In February 2017, GoTo Meeting became a product of LogMeIn as a result of a merger between LogMeIn and Citrix's GoTo business.[1]
