Free Alternatives to GoToMeeting
A few days ago I set out to look for a free alternative to GoToMeeting after trying to evaluate it and finding out that I needed to enter my credit card to get the 30 day trial and I wasn't prepared to do that.
I managed to sign up with Yugma and within a few short minutes I was already set up and able to share my desktop with a colleague. The free Yugma service allows me to invite up to 10 attendees and thats more than enough for me and I think its a pretty decent web collaboration tool.
I had a quick look at two other tools that give free desktop sharing. The first one is Yakkle which competes very well with instant messaging tools and remote meeting and web conferencing tools. It would be interesting to hear from other
people who use the tool more often.
The other free tool that I came across is Vyew. No installation is required for this one and therefore
you are able to use it from any computer with a browser. I didn't get around to test it but I hope to find some time to give it a go.
There are probably a few other tools and if I come across them I will add them to the list.

I've been using Yugma for a few months and found its just perfect for what I need. Super simple, fast, low cost (i think 10 bucks is a bloody steal). and I've been able to get things done with colleagues on different computing platforms. I highly recommend it. Plus I just got their newsletter this morning and just learned that they now have a Skype extra. I've got to check it out.

I tried dimdim today. It was pretty easy to use in IE (Couldn't get firefox to work, but I didn't try very long). It includes audio and video and allows for up to 20 people on the free version.

I tried Dim Dim, and wasn't impressed. If you've got two monitors, be prepared for troubles. When wanting to cancel with them, you cannot cancel online, you have to call them during business hours to cancel. For some reason, that just gets under my skin big time.

I've found Yugma to be the WORST program out there. So far, at least 50% of my prospects cannot get logged on, their system is ALWAYS down, and after sending in 4 emails over 4 weeks requesting help, I went to their site to use the Live Help feature.
Thei tech support actually ARGUED with me and told me "It is not our policy to respond to requests for help if we don't know the problem. We don't know what's causing your problems, so we're not going to reply to your emails sir."

My jaw dropped... So no acknowledgment of help, no responses, just IGNORE your customers and hope the problem goes away? Yugma spent 15 more minutes arguing with me, and eventually this guy tells me that it's a waste of time to reply to customers if the issue cannot be quickly resolved!!!!
Really? GLad to know Yugma cares so little about their paying customers? Needless to say, that was all I needed to hear to make a switch to another service.

Its good that you got an option to sign up without a credit card. Maybe they have changed they way they do things now.
Also recently I got an e-mail from somebody from Yugma who said that:
Yugma now offers a full-sharing Linux program (beta) and Outlook plug-in, you can check them out here.
The other big announcement is that Yugma Free now lets you invite up to 20 attendees into a session at once! All current Yugma Free subscribers will be automatically upgraded to the new service.
Also, there is now a \"view-only\" option that lets attendees join a meeting with out downloading anything. This options allows a person to see the desktops being shared and use the built-in instant messaging feature.
I haven't checked these options myself but when I get some time I will look at the site. Cheers.

The problem with GoToMeeting is it only logs 90 days of connections, and kind of badly at that. This makes it less useful for consultants or anyone providing remote tech support. This function would be useful when disputing billing items with clients.
Secondly, the log itself is barely useful. You can't tag the name of a session to the logged entry and you cannot export the log either. So you are back to the 1970's when you hired people just to retype from one system to another, along with the associated errors.
Lastly, the tech support people I've talked to about this at GoToMeeting/Citrix, Inc. whatever, have been like "no skin off our @ss, deal with it, y u need more logging?" So I am basically looking for something better. This thread is nice.

It sounds like you're looking for something else. GoToMeeting is not oriented towards tech support. It's a conference service. That's why there is no extended logging. You should look into LogMeIn.

Many of us are familiar with LogMeIn, the free version. If you look at the pro version, you'll find the ability to share your desktop for $69/year! Not bad. Doesn't have all the bells and whistles of online meeting software but terrific for one on ones! I use it all the time.

Your recommendation for Vyew.com was spot on. While it is slightly (very slightly)
awkward to use the first time (when you go into desktop sharing mode, the dashboard goes
away, unlike GoTomeeting which floats its dashboard), there is no plugin at all!
For an additional $10/year, they also give a dedicated URL (such as vyew.com/chris)
so that you have something easier to tell prospects on the phone.
For collaboration, I still like GoTomeeting, but for sales presentations, where you are asking someone to get online and watch a presentation, I think Vyew is the best option.
Thanks for the tip!

As a Cincinnati Ohio Internet Consultant calling on the small and medium sized business market, I have to both use and recommend solutions. If the client is cost sensitive and only needs to hold one-on-one type meetings, I steer them toward logmein.com. Their FREE package supports simple desktop sharing which is all most people are doing with these meetings. Use the phone for the audio. You can't beat it and LogMeIn is a terrific service all around for both communications and support.

This thread is very informative so thanks for keeping it going. In my business we use GoToMeeting and make no mistake about it, the product is pretty awesome...right down to ease of use, sharing desktops, recording video & audio sessions.
The downside is the pricing. It is downright prohibitive for my personal use with my website friends (for poetry open mic sessions, etc). So I tried Yugma tonight and as luck would have it, it did not install cleanly on my computer -- I have a "screaming" Vista Ultra 64 bit HP computer and it warned of a drive incompatability and then at the end of the install informed me one driver could, in fact, not be installed (didn't identify the driver though). What a bummer -- I wrote to Yugma and am awaiting a reply -- I'll keep you advised.

A year ago I tried all the other free alternatives to GTM and found them all "wanting" in one area or another. So I have stayed with GTM until someone convinces me that the freebies can provide everything GTM does -- this is what I think the alternative must have:
1) Ability to provide a phone number to call that enables automatic audio in synch with the video
2) Ability to instantly make any attendee the "presenter" so that their screen can be viewed and used by either the presenter or the meeting organizer
3) The ability to easily record the full session (both audio and video in sync for easy playback in acceptable standrad playback formats.
4) A seamless invitation process to enable meeting attendees easy access to the session.
5) Number of attendees -- usually not an issue but I have had as many as 14 in a meeting at one time with GTM with excellent quality.

Look -- I don't like paying money if I can get the same product for less or even FREE. Thanks for continuing to post to this thread so I can hear if anything has changed regarding a viable alternative to GTM -- I would stay with GTM and am only "looking" because I think their price structuring should be based more on usage than just a blanket fee for all. I may use GTM 15 times a year whereas others may use it 100 times. Why should I pay so much as a limited-use owner??
Interested in hearing more from you folks --

I also hope that the current alternatives will continue to improve their feature lists so as to match those offered by GTM for example.

Cool thing about Vyew is that the users do not have to download any viewer, this helps since sometimes you end up wasting lot of time to get not so techie meeting participants to install the software and at times some of these participants do not had admin privileges to install software, and they have to get the IT guy install stuff. I had to postpone meetings because of this at times.

I agree on the poor assessment of Yugma. I've been repeatedly plagued by clients not being able to log in, or the whole Yugma service being down. They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but that might be wrong in the case of Yugma: the first clue that things are not well at Yugma is the ugly, confusing and very inconsistent interface. I'm on search for something more reliable and easier for clients.

rthank you so much. I'm working on a project for my company that requires a lot of testing and I'm given a very short budget. With free hosting this gives me the opportunity to let my company know that I've done my homework and helping them to save the most amount of money with our test

Please update your post as it is no longer accurate. From your post - "The free Yugma service allows me to invite up to 10 attendees" From yugma's site - "Yugma Free gives you free web conferencing with up to 1 attendees. "
