GoToMeeting In-Session Overview
When you first join, you'll be prompted to choose which audio method and camera you'd like to use and how you'll appear in the meeting upon launch. Click the Settings icon to switch audio modes or devices.
Control your audio feed using the Audio icon at the top of your Control Panel or Grab Tab, which will glow green when you are unmuted and others can hear you. You'll see a Mic icon for Computer audio or a Phone icon for phone call audio. You can also switch between Computer and Phone audio if needed by opening the Settings pane in the Control Panel.
Note: Most Computer audio users are muted by default when they first join. If you are muted, click the red Audio icon so that it glows green.

Note: You will not see the presenter controls in your Screen pane unless you are made the presenter by an organizer or the current presenter. Once you are made presenter, the additional presenter controls will appear in your Control Panel.
The Viewer and Control Panel includes a Chat pane where you can exchange messages with other participants. You'll be notified if you receive a chat and your Chat pane is minimized. Use the Send To drop-down menu to select your recipients:
You can save a .RTF file of the chat log by clicking GoToMeeting in the top menu and Save Chat Log. When prompted, select a place on your computer to save the file and click Save.
To save valuable space on your computer screen when you're screen sharing, you can collapse the full Control Panel into a small Grab Tab that will automatically "cling" to the sides of your screen. Use the Arrow icons to collapse and expand the Control Panel.
