TIPS FOR USING CITRIX GOTOMEETING

Sound

If at all possible, do NOT use your computer's built-in mic and speakers. They are low quality and often cause feedback or annoying noises that the rest of us hear. Citrix highly recommends that you use a headset and microphone combination that is plugged into a USB connector. The computer sees these as a microphone and speaker system. This is far better than the built-in microphones and speakers. For a comparison and tutorial about connecting to the meeting and the recommended headsets, go to
Headsets at Office Depot for about $25. A step up is in the $40 range. You can look at some models at
and Amazon.com,
.

  • Typically, the more you spend, the better the quality at both ends.
  • If you have a microphone and speaker system and do not want the headset, you should move the speakers away from the microphone to avoid feedback.

Common Courtesy

  • If you can mute your microphone when you are not talking, please do so, especially if you have kids and dogs that may disrupt the meeting.
  • If you are using one of those stick microphones, please speak up and directly into the mic and avoid moving it around during the meeting.

Attending GoToMeeting Help

Citrix has quite a few tutorials, videos and other help. Please take the time to learn a little about using it before the next board meeting so you will be more comfortable with it. Here are some links to get you started. For user help, go to

the topic links on this page for more information.

There are some videos at .These are directed to the organizer, which is Donna, but they give you a general idea of how the windows look and how it all works. These are just short videos so you don't have to spend much time at it.
