GoToMeeting Integration in EIOBoard
Posted by Jacob Fairbairn on 07 November 2012 01:32 PM

GoToMeeting is software that is not directly related to EIOBoard. This software allows a user to view and control another user’s computer (once the permission has been given). This is the software that the EIOBoard Support Team uses to troubleshoot customer issues directly on their client or on their server.

GoToMeeting Integration is a new feature to EIOBoard version 8. It allows you to easily set up a PC meeting with another user. GoToMeetings are very useful in attaining company collaborations. For more details on this, please visit:

http://www.GoToMeeting.com


To set up GoToMeeting Integration in EIOBoard, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that you have GoToMeeting installed. Only the person who initiates the GoToMeeting needs to have this software installed before the meeting is initiated. The recipient can have GoToMeeting installed, or it will be temporarily installed only during the meeting.
  2. Make sure you have a GoToMeeting account set up. If you need to set one up, please go to http://www.gotomeeting.com. Again, only the person who initiates the GoToMeeting needs to have an account set up. The recipient will not.
  3. Now you will have to activate the Meeting Integration service in your EIOBoard client. To do so, go to the Integration tab in your Settings. It will tell you “Service is not activated” if you have not activated it yet. Click .


  1. EIOBoard will take a minute to connect to GoToMeeting. Once it has connected, enter in the Email Address and Password you used to sign up on GoToMeeting. When finished, click .
