"Fast & Easy Way to Connect with Subscribers"

I like how intuitive GoToWebinar is to use. I host weekly webinars and GoToWebinar make it easy to set up and host the webinars. I've been able to interact with my subscribers through it and educate them on our product in a way that I just couldn't without a software like GoToWebinar.

I wish it was easier to talk to people during the webinar if they wanted. The question/chat boxes are great, but sometimes it would be easier to be able to talk to them without having to go through and unmute everybody individually.

We use GoToWebinar to connect our subscribers and to educate them on the platform we provide. With GoToWebinar we are able to share our screen with them so that they can see what we're doing.
