General GoTo Training FAQs
Review the following frequently asked questions:
How long do my materials stay available? How much storage space do I have?
Archived recordings and course materials in your library are saved for the lifetime of your account, or until you delete them. Each account has up to 500GB of storage space for uploaded files and recordings, however, corporate customers can purchase more storage space through their account managers. We recommend you sign in to your account to see how much storage is available and how much is currently in use. This can be viewed from the Storage card in both the Library and Recording tabs in your left side-bar.
When can I launch my tests?
You can launch tests before, during and after a training. The same test can be used once before the training, once during the training and once after the training. See Tests to learn more.

Is there a charge for using GoTo Training Integrated Audio?
GoTo Training is packaged with integrated audio at no extra cost. You can choose to provide audio through VoIP (Voice over IP), phone numbers or both.

Attendees joining audio through the conference number provided through GoTo Training Integrated Audio use a toll-based number; the charge to attendees is dictated by their telephone provider. GoTo Training supports Integrated Toll-Free Audio, but only on corporate plans.
