Meeting organizers simply start a meeting instantly or schedule a meeting for a future date. Online meetings can be started or scheduled with a click of the mouse from the installed GoToMeeting taskbar icon, the GoToMeeting Web site, Microsoft Outlook or popular instant-messaging applications. Meeting attendees do not need pre-loaded software to participate – they can attend by simply clicking on a URL sent from the meeting host or by going to the GoToMeeting Web site and clicking the "Join a Meeting" button. Once all invited attendees are in the meeting, the presenter can instantly share any file or application on the desktop, regardless of where it resides.

Almost every department in an organization can benefit from online meeting and collaboration technology. Bringing visual communication to everyday conversations increases customer satisfaction, reduces customer acquisition expenses and positively affects your bottom line. Hundreds of companies presently use GoToMeeting everyday including: sales professionals that qualify prospects more quickly, reduces the sales cycle and closes more deals by conducting online presentations and product demonstrations with prospective customers; Development teams that create and revise a project plan, then schedule a subsequent online meeting with others for additional input; Financial group members as they review sensitive data with group members, clients, employees, investors and financial analysts; and trainers that educate new customers located in different geographic regions about a product's latest features and documentation – without traveling.

According to a recent CNET News.com review of GoToMeeting, the online conference tool enables customers to present PowerPoint slides, run applications and handle basic collaboration tasks over the Web. The article highlighted simplicity as the key differentiator of GoToMeeting in a crowded market led by WebEx, a Web conferencing specialist. However, GoToMeeting offers simple functionality aimed at everyday meetings, and a simple pricing structure – a flat monthly fee based on the number of simultaneous users. The flat monthly fee includes both audio and web conferencing for one price, the usage is unlimited and there are no penalties or overage charges.
