Successful Mac Release Leads Mikogo to Preview Further Features
Mannheim, GERMANY March 24, 2009 – Following the successful release of its debut Mac software version less than two weeks ago, Mikogo is wasting no time announcing that greater cross-platform capability is already on its way. Mikogo has announced that a remote control feature is to be included in its next soon-to-be-released Mac Beta version, providing a combined remote support and online meeting tool at no cost.
While some competitor products may boast screen sharing for meetings and other’s for remote support, they will struggle to match Mikogo’s offer. The next version of the Mikogo Mac version will bring the best of both world’s together branding Mikogo as a cross-platform software application that is armed to the teeth with valuable features, and available at no cost for commercial and private use.
By employing the new Mikogo Mac Beta version, both Mac and PC users will be able to organize screen sharing sessions for the purposes of online meetings, Web presentations, Web demos, e-learning, and importantly, remote support.
“With the new Mac version, businesses have a tool that enables their sales department to conduct product demos, while their service department can support clients remotely, regardless of whether the involved parties are on a Mac or PC computer,” explains Mark Zondler, Co-Founder of Mikogo.
The talk of such a complete cross-platform desktop sharing solution, comes shortly after the successful release of the Mikogo Mac Beta version on the 11th March 2009. The release was met with great enthusiasm from Mac and PC users across the planet, with Mikogo appearing on countless of personal and professional blogs, news sites, as well as notable tech Web publications including VentureBeat, Macworld, PCWorld, PCMag, TMCnet and MakeUseOf.
The combination of Mikogo’s current features and cross-platform capability with that of remote control, is expected to appeal to a wide audience of both Mac and PC business users, and will result in the long neck of the Mikogo giraffe towering above the crowd.

Hi Andrew,
I just wanted to let you know our Mikogo review was online !
http://www.appledifferent.com/2009/04/10/mikogo-review/#more-475

Hi, I am testing the new beta at MacDeveloper.net
I also told my friend about it (who is on a PC), and he is going to test meetings with me, so I can file many bug reports
He also appreciates the Mikogo Skype extra, because now we can both share our screens (I use the latest Skype beta for Mac which can do screen sharing on its own).
Good luck with your Mikogo app! Cool name by the way!
@Hawk,
Thanks for testing the Mac Beta version. Yes, it’s cross platform so you can start or participate in meetings from both a Mac or PC. Would be great if you and your friend had the chance to test this.
Thanks for your feedback on MacDeveloper
Btw, glad you like the name!
Where are instructions for using Mikogo for the Mac over Skype?
Is this already available, confounding?
Is this so simple that I missed it entirely?
Will appreciate an explanation at your earliest.
Thank you for your attention.

The Mikogo Skype Extra is for windows. To use Skype and Mikogo on a Mac, I suggest using both programs simultaneously.
I.e. start a Skype call with your Skype contacts. Then start a Mikogo (download here) meeting and receive the meeting ID. Via a Skype instant message, send your Skype contacts the meeting ID. They can then also download Mikogo, select join meeting and enter the ID.
Using both programs simultaneously, you can enjoy free cross-platform screen sharing while chatting for free via Skype.
