join.me Reshapes Video Conferencing With Fast, Easy, Free Video Meetings
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Fastest Growing Web Conferencing App Aims to Break Video Conferencing Mold
BOSTON, June 24, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- join.me, the popular online meeting
app from LogMeIn, Inc. (Nasdaq:LOGM), is rolling out a fresh new approach to
chatting, meeting and collaborating via video. Like join.me itself, the new
video capabilities are designed to provide people with a simple, fast and fun
way to meet with colleagues, partners and customers across the hall, across the
country or across the world. And like join.me, the new video conferencing
capabilities are available to anyone, free of charge.
In keeping with join.me's simple, lightweight and fun user experience,
individual video feeds take the form of bubbles which can be manipulated and
moved - even bounced -- around the screen by meeting participants. It can be
used to have video-only calls, chats, and meetings; or it can be used in
conjunction with join.me's signature simple screen sharing capability. And by
leveraging HTML5 and WebRTC, along with join.me's signature speed, meetings
start within seconds without requiring attendees to download anything to
join.(1)
"Millions of people have been attracted by join.me's core DNA of speed,
simplicity and a user experience unlike anything before it. With video, we've
applied the same approach and philosophy," said Craig Daniel, vice president of
products for join.me. "With join.me video, we looked beyond just a better video
conference to deliver what we believe is a far more engaging, natural, and
delightful way for people to come together and get stuff done."
Options and details:
* Five feeds for free
join.me's free offering, which also includes screen sharing and free VoIP
calling, will now provide up to 5 free video feeds per meeting; i.e. People
can have video conferences with up to 5 people, free of charge.
* 10 Video feeds with join.me's pro and enterprise versions
The two premium editions of join.me will support up to 10 video feeds per
meeting, and also include advanced features like unlimited audio with
domestic and international conferencing lines, cloud-based recording,
integration with Outlook and Google Calendar, unlimited mobile whiteboards,
and more.
* No camera. No problem.
join.me lets everyone join in the conversation, whether they are on joining
by video or just the audio and/or screen sharing portions. People can choose
to connect with PSTN only, VoIP only, or video.
* No downloads for attendees
Starting with Google Chrome, attendees can join video meetings without any
downloads, right from the browser. No download video is expected to be
extended to other browsers in subsequent releases.
"In the collaboration space, there is an ever-tighter synergy between web and
video conferencing. No longer can companies look at these capabilities
separately. Visual cues are critical for collaborative interactions," said David
Mario Smith, Research Director and Lead Analyst at Aragon Research, Inc. "As one
of the more popular web conferencing products, join.me becomes a more complete
collaboration tool with the addition of video capabilities."
