HOW TO JOIN A TRAINING SESSION

There is no purchase necessary to attend a GoToTraining session. Two easy ways to join:
•Tap a training session link in the invite email or your calendar.
•Tap the GoToTraining icon after you download the app and enter the session ID.

AUDIO
•Upon joining a training session, you will automatically connect to audio through your Internet connection (WiFi or 4G/3G).
•For the best audio experience, plug a headset into your iPhone, iPad or iPad Touch.
•If you prefer to dial in over your phone line, you can do that with a single tap after joining the training session.
•If you are attending the session in person, easily disconnect from audio any time during the session so you can continue to participate in polls and see the materials up close.

NOTE: Due to network constraints, iPhone users on the Verizon network will be unable to join a session and dial in over the phone at the same time.

VIDEO CONFERENCING (iPad only)
If additional presenters are using webcams, you will automatically see them upon joining the training session.
•GoToTraining learners can turn on their webcams by tapping the webcam icon, then the Share My Webcam button.
•While it is possible to stream video over a 4G/3G connection, WiFi is recommended to avoid charges with your network carrier.

Pros and cons of GoToTraining (previous version) app for iPhone and iPad

GoToTraining (previous version) app good for

Love being able to be on my phone and learn wherever I have reception. Great use of technology and time.
This was very easy and great.. Enjoyed the time of speaking with my teacher even though Im in another state and city!!
With software like GTT, you can really be at the meeting without being there! You can be as incognito as you like, and join the meeting as needed, doing whatever you wish in comfort and privacy when not needing to be front and centre. Its also easy to run the meeting, just join in, monitor the meeting, "chat" to the group or specific attendees during the meeting... It may be better than really being there in public performance mode.
Love not having to log in to my computer to access training and meetings! Works fairly smoothly.

Some bad moments

Tried this app instead of my desktop tonight. Gets a little cluttered on the screen at times. But the video is see less and the audio is clear. Great alternative to sitting at a desk for class.
This was my first online meeting and I found the app unbelievably smooth and easy to use. I was on my iPad and had no issues in the transmission or figuring out how to use any of the features.
Is easy to log on to, is intuitive and provides features such as muting and hand raising. The interactive forum is as good as attending a meeting in person ... perhaps even more so as, since no one can see you, if you are a bit shy, you may ask questions you normally wouldnt have.
I like the new branded app that is clear for my learners to get to and see what I teach on the go. Find the new audio controls easier to manage for people entering the session while also being present in the room with me. nice job.
My laptop died so I thought I would use my iPad, but all I get is a constant spinning wheel.
I travel a lot. Im either on the road or sitting in an airport. This app is very convenient for when I need to multitask and cant sit at a computer for training. So far every Go-to app has been great.
