Select Audio for a Training Session

GoToTraining includes built-in audio at no extra cost to you. Choose between Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), long distance and/or toll-free (optional service for corporate plans only).

  • Participants who join the training session via VoIP need a headset (USB recommended) or microphone and speakers.
  • Participants who join the training session via telephone dial a toll-based number that GoToTraining provides automatically. Participants are then charged their standard long-distance rate for calling this toll-based number, just as if they made a regular long-distance call.

Corporate organizers may also be able to provide a toll-free number through our Integrated Toll-Free audio service, depending on their company's service contract. See Audio Options for a summary of the different audio conferencing plans.

Audio instructions are provided for all attendees in the Control Panel once the training session starts. GoToTraining automatically generates a conference call number, access code and Audio PIN for all attendees joining via telephone.By default, your training session is scheduled using GoToTraining built-in audio.

Note: If you choose to use your own audio service provider for the audio portion of the training session, GoToTraining includes your dial-in numbers with the training session information; however, GoToTraining audio features (such as VoIP and Control Panel audio management) do not apply.
