Briar vs GoToMeeting

Probably the most secure messaging app out of any available, great idea! Unfortunately it will not be a good replacement for more popular messaging apps anytime soon. There is no way to send a video. Pictures are possible, but only in a chat with one other person and they get massively compressed. Pretty crazy in 2022. I love the idea of my messages not being routed through a central server, but it's not ready to replace my messaging app of choice. I'll check back in a few years.

I would like to see a pop-up chat head. If I'm not looking at the screen I will miss the flash notification across the top. I have missed a reply for hours. I like adding the contact without using my phone number. I was using TextNow and Text free but the constant ads drove me crazy! I think this is a good app.

This is probably one of the best messaging apps ever. I didn't even know a messaging app ever existed without using data . I installed this app into two phones and turned off Wi-Fi off for both of them and only left Bluetooth on. The app worked perfectly and no delayed text messages. I never knew that text messaging apps existed without ever having to use data or a Wi-Fi connection. I'm glad this technology exists because this would be very good in an emergency situations. Love this technology.

"GoToMeeting is great for VOIP but not my favorite for video conferencing" What do you like best about GoTo Meeting? The VOIP functionality is fantastic, I love that I'm able to answer my work phone from my cell phone, anywhere. I'm also able to check voicemails when I'm out of the office without having to call a number or anything complex. The app is a great tool.

"Perfect for all our company meetings" What do you like best about GoTo Meeting? I love how easy GoTo is to use. I love that you can record sessions and share with those who couldn't attend. I also love that you can include documents for those attending the meeting as well.

"Reusable Meeting Rooms" What do you like best about GoTo Meeting? GoTo Meeting excels in setting up meetings swiftly and makes participation seamless from anywhere on any device. It has apps for Windows, Mac, Android, and iPhones, allowing users to join conferences conveniently. Setting up a meeting is swift and gives you the flexibility in how you wish to connect your audio, whether from your PC or phone. While traditionally video conferencing applications require you to enlist the details for your meeting, you can skip the entire procedure by creating a recurring meeting room, which you can recycle for discussions and host as many conferences after the first one. Reusable meeting rooms maintain your chat messages and shared data, leaving the flow of discussions intact for references. The conferencing quality on GoTo Meeting is nothing short is stellar on any device. You can collaborate on your work with other participants regardless of the device they're on during your video conferences. GoTo Meeting strives to be a seamless platform for collaboration through screen sharing. You can screen share any part of your computer or phone, including specific windows and the whole screen. GoTo Meeting allows you to give keyboard and mouse control to one specific user in the conference during screen sharing. This feature is very helpful during customer service conferences where we can assist them in specific tasks where a verbal explanation is inadequate. GoTo Meeting has excellent integrations with other GoTo applications, allowing you to convert meetings to webinars with ease for broader features and capabilities.
