Why should I switch to the GoTo app?
The GoToTraining team is currently working on these limitations in the new experience.
These limitations only apply to organizers who have
enabled the new experience and their attendees.
- The new experience is available on the GoTo app and the web (Google Chrome or Edge Chromium only).
- Use the new GoTo mobile app as an attendee to have full feature support.
- Materials added during the session will not automatically refresh. Organizers need to refresh the material section.
- Attendees connected to audio via phone cannot participate in breakout rooms.
- Local cloud recording creates files with a WEBM format and not a MP4. Organizers will need to find a third party converter to convert the WEBM files to MP4s.
