Citrix Delivers a New, Intuitive User Experience for Online Meetings with Reimagined GoToMeeting

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Citrix today announced a redesigned user experience for GoToMeeting, making it even simpler to hold high-definition online meetings with colleagues, customers and friends from anywhere in the world. The traditional definition of "meeting" is challenged by the new GoToMeeting with more productivity app integrations, personalization that lets users work the way they want and a richer experience, so they can stay connected with colleagues in real-time.

New Citrix research reveals that people use on average up to five different devices for work, meaning they need to quickly move from one device to the next without losing productivity. The new features announced today improve the GoToMeeting experience across the PC, Mac, mobile and browser to accommodate different work styles.

"Productive meetings don't just start and stop when you step in the "room;" they require preparation and follow-up," said Chris Battles, Vice President and General Manager, Citrix. "With the new GoToMeeting experience, we're making the preparation, collaboration and post-meeting communication phases of the work day as seamless and intuitive as possible."

Recent GoToMeeting enhancements that improve the PC, Mac, browser and mobile experience and are available worldwide now, include:

Desktop Experience

• GoToMeeting Control Panel –PC users have a more intuitive interface that is customizable– all designed to simplify the way attendees and organizers collaborate in real-time.

• iOS Language Support – GoToMeeting is available in all major languages including Brazilian, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese and Spanish for iPhone and iPad. These GoToMeeting mobile and desktop features are currently available worldwide.
