How Do I Make a Custom GoToMeeting?
GoToMeeting is a video call platform where you can have meetings with as many as 250 participants. The meetings can either be large generic ones or personal, customized ones.
GoToMeeting has a desktop and mobile app. Both allow you to create a customized meeting according to your personal tastes and preferences.
Customizing a meeting involves putting your unique stamp on a video call, a feature which many video streaming platforms do not allow you. You do so by designing your own virtual meeting room.
Customization also serves the purpose of making the attendee feel like they are in a professional environment. Based on your work, you can design the meeting room to have a very specific theme.
