Team Communication Platform Slack and
Productivity Tools Alfred and LaunchBar Integrate One Touch Video
Conferencing
Citrix today announced new web services and app integration with
GoToMeeting Free, a communications platform that provides users
with quick and simple video sync-ups. With GoToMeeting Free,
companies can offer free video conferencing features, giving their
customers the ability to instantly communicate with colleagues and
friends anywhere in the world.
This new functionality in GoToMeeting Free gives web developers
an easy yet powerful way to add video conferencing capabilities
with close to zero effort and no cost. Developers simply embed the
meeting button into their website or app to give users access, and
with one touch, they can launch a video conference.
Slack, Alfred and LaunchBar are the first companies to integrate
with GoToMeeting Free. For example, teams working together in Slack
can quickly address issues by moving from a text conversation to a
video conference without having to download software or sign up for
a new service. With the ability to share screens, chat and search
for documents, teams can stay productive during meetings.
“Our integration with GoToMeeting Free is exactly what we built
Slack to do: be the bottom layer of the business technology stack,”
says Stewart Butterfield, CEO, Slack. “We share the same mission as
Citrix to make our work lives simpler and more productive, and the
seamless experience we’ve built here offers just that.”
GoToMeeting Free, which launched in March 2014, offers free,
unlimited-use video conferencing for up to three people. It is an
entirely browser-based platform that allows users to seamlessly
join an audio/video call without needing to log in or download
additional software.
“GoToMeeting Free has grown 20 percent month-over-month since
launch, and we know our customers are hungry for rich communication
tools,” said Phil Chambers, product line director, Citrix. “Our
integration game-changers like Slack allow us to give even more
customers a seamless collaboration experience – whether they’re
working on a project deadline or catching up with colleagues.”
