The Truth About Citrix’s GoToMeeting


I have had the pleasure of being in the industry of technology since my mom gave birth to a 10lbs 300baud modem (ME) in 1977. :).

Out of all the business networking tools I have used out there for online conferencing, Citrix’s GoToMeeting has got to be the smoothest online systems I have seen out there with features that make sense to a viewer and a host.

Pros: These features include, hiding and unhiding participants online. Asking prequalifying questions to participants of the meeting before logging in. Audio streaming of meeting over VoiceOverIP or dial-in number for lanline. Hand being raised to ask a question during a session. Very low latency on screencasting.

Cons: Now, this is the only thing I have not found online or on Citrix GoToMeeting’s website. If I want to pass a predefined field variable through a link. In this case, let’s say the field is asking the viewer "Who invited you to this webinar?" I would like to be able to include in the special link ?WhoInvited=Cesar%20Ramirez when the link is submitted via email, Twitter, Facebook, or any other social micro blog sites. This would auto populate that field.

If you know of a method to overcome this, please let me know. Ive dealt more with PHP coding than ASP(X) so i may be off here. Because the webpage is not written in PHP, I’m sure there is a method around that considering the code variable for that field is already determined.

You partner in success,
