Newsvine Photographers Virtual Vinemeet: GoToMeeting Overview

Thu Mar 31, 2011 6:00 PM EDT

By Ben Josephs

Despite GoToMeeting being fairly easy and straight forward, this article will provide you with instructions, along with a couple screen shots, so you know what to expect when first joining a Newsvine Photographers virtual-vinemeet meeting.

Click the link.  The link and meeting ID are located in the group discussion tab (click the Newsvine Photographers tab directly above the comments section), or you may e-mail me for the information. 

 

 

If prompted, you'll want to click run: 

You will then be asked to enter your name and e-mail address: 

You do not need to enter an email address. 

Once loaded, which can take a few minutes, you will see this on your screen:

 

If someone is sharing their screen, you will see exactly what they see instead.


That's it!  The meeting has begun. You should see on the right an attendee list, audio area (which says who's speaking), and a chat box.   If you wish to use voice, you will need a headset.   There are no special audio settings if using only text chat.

Note:  Once screen sharing begins, it's possible the GoToMeeting box will collapse.  If this happens, click on the red arrow so you can still see the chat window.

I've had some last minute dinner plans come up and will not be able to attend now. Will you all be summarizing any of the presentations in article form? I hate like heck to be missing this!

I'm going to try to be home from this. This is audio? I have speakers but no headphones. Do I just talk to my computer? LOL

If I'm late getting home, can I still sign on late?

Yes, it is audio. If you don't have a headset, you probably won't have the ability to talk, unless it's integrated in your laptop or monitor, you'd still at least want headphones/headset, otherwise the sound from your speakers is picked up by your mic and it echoes.. echoes.. echoes.

Will earbuds work from an iPod?

And can I sign in late or is there a cutoff?

#5.2 - Sat Apr 2, 2011 6:41 PM EDT
Ben Josephs

I don't have an iPod, they should work if it's the standard connector.

No cut-off.

Hey everyone,

I have the 30-day trial for GoToMeeting until the 15th of April. Does anyone want to meet up again before then? If so, when?

Ben, I would love to. But, I don't want to make a commitment because of my mother who is in hospice now. However, if it ends up being a time I can make it... I WILL be there. Sorry, I missed the last one as you worked so hard to put it together. Thank you much Ben!!!

I have a question concerning the audio. I have a headset from my Warcraft days and when using TeamSpeak or Ventrilo, you had to designate a button to talk. Does GTM work the same way?

Pretty much works the same, except there isn't a talk button, you just talk.
