Terms

Review a list of commonly used GoToMeeting terms.

• Organizer - An organizer has a GoToMeeting account that enables him or her to schedule and host meetings. The organizer can also grant and revoke attendee privileges, such as passing the presenter role, sharing keyboard and mouse, inviting attendees and dismissing others.
• Attendee - An attendee is any person who attends a meeting, including organizers and presenters. By default, attendees can view the presenter's screen. An attendee may remotely control the presenter's computer screen if given the privilege. An attendee may optionally chat with other attendees, use Drawing Tools or view the Attendee List.
• Presenter - A presenter is any attendee who is giving a presentation and shares his or her computer screen with all the attendees. The initial presenter is also the initial meeting organizer. The presenter also determines who gets to control the keyboard and mouse of the remotely viewed screen.
• GoToMeeting Website - The website www.gotomeeting.com is where organizers manage their accounts and host meetings and also where attendees join meetings.
• GoToMeeting System Tray Icon - The system tray icon is used by Windows users to access organizer features of GoToMeeting and to provide status of GoToMeeting service. To access organizer features, right-click the system tray icon and select the desired feature.

• GoToMeeting Suite Icon - Mac users can access organizer features by double-clicking on the GoToMeeting Suite icon on their desktop.
• Account Password - An account password is what organizers use to log in to the GoToMeeting website. It must contain at least eight characters and include both letters and numbers.
• Meeting Password - A meeting password is an optional value chosen by the meeting organizer that is used to help authenticate attendees.  Requiring and specifying a meeting password provides enhanced privacy guarantees for the meeting by ensuring that only attendees who know the meeting password may join the meeting.  The meeting password is never transmitted to Citrix Online in any form.  The meeting password may be any alphanumeric string of one character or more the organizer would like such as: "7891," "Happy Birthday," "Citrix123," etc.   Picking a meeting password that is difficult to guess helps to maximize security.
• Viewer - The Viewer is the window displayed on the attendees' computers in which the presenter's desktop or shared application appears. The Viewer window has its own title and menu bars.
• Presenter's Windows Image - The presenter's Windows image is the picture of the presenter's Windows desktop or shared application that appears to attendees in the Viewer window.
• Published Application - An application that is pushed to a client Windows by Citrix Presentation Server.
