Participants can join sessions from your website

Jule – October 23, 2009

Earlier this year we released a series of Join Mikogo buttons for you to embed in your website. Since the look of Mikogo changed a bit, we bring you a fresh, new bunch of buttons! As before, you are welcome to help yourself to these buttons to add to your website, and allow your session participants to join from your website.

Placing a Button on your website:
You can easily place a button on your site by copying and pasting the appropriate block of HTML code into your website. The button that you chose will appear on your site, and when a participant clicks on it they will have the possibility to join your session from your website rather than visiting the Mikogo homepage.

The first button will link to http://join.mikogo.com which is available for both PC and Mac users joining a Mikogo session. You can test it for yourself by simply clicking on the example button below.

Mikogo - Join Session

The next two buttons are a little different to the above button, but more in line to what you would be used to from the buttons that we released earlier this year. Instead of linking to the Join Session webpage, the buttons below link to the Mikogo software. There are two buttons – one for Mac participants and one for Windows participants.

Please feel free to take your buttons of choice and place them on your website.

We are definitely interested in hearing your feedback on the buttons. Check them out, and please leave a comment on which buttons you prefer.
And if you add one or more of the buttons to your website, feel free to share the new addition to your website by leaving a link in a comment below so we can check it out and see which buttons are the most popular. This will be nice to see and gives us an impression of which buttons are liked more than others.

Looking for something else? For example, if you use Mikogo solely for remote support, then you may only want the words “Remote Support” on a button. Let us know what type of button you’re after by leaving a comment below.

    This is a marvelous idea which I will make much use of. Now all that is required is to figure out how to install them in my web and blog

    @Lawrence,
    Great to hear that you like the buttons. It is in fact very easy to add a button. Just need to access the editor in HTML view of one of your webpages, and insert the code. When you have done this, please feel free to let us know by sharing a link in a comment below to where you placed the button.
    Cheers!

    I am so impressed with Mikogo. It is the easiest webinar system to use that I have found so far. I have already trained 22 people HOW to use it and will continue to show your program to new people.

    I always remind them that you are financing thru donations and if they see a benefit, they need to send you some cash.

    Let me know if you ever need a salesperson….to further Mikogos reach around the world.

    It would be nice to have Windows and Mac buttons that have Remote Support or just Support would probably be fine since we know it will be remote anyway.

    Thanks for the great work on this tool and I use it pretty frequently to help people fix their computer woes and it comes in very hand and works well.

    Hey! 3 cheers for the product team!
    Great feature. Could there be a way to create a publish session and then indicate an ‘on-going session’ through a tiny widget or something?
    thanks

  7. Andrew on October 29, 2009 at 6:56 pm

    @Jason,
    Thanks for the suggestion! We’ll add another blog post in the next week or two, which such buttons. Great feedback!

    @Prasad,
    Thanks for the 3 cheers! I’m not sure if I follow your question. Can you please send me a few more details on what you’re after? You’re welcome to email me at andrew(at)mikogo.com

    i need help getting Mikogo to work. I have tried several times. There is not a customer contact phone number to speak to anyone. I am very frustrated, would love to try the product in my business. Got any suggestions.

    @Bill
    What appears to be the problem when you try to start Mikogo? Have you tried joining the connection test, by entering 000-000-000 as the session ID?
    Please post all details of your problem on the Support Forum http://www.mikogo.com/support/forum/ This is the best way for you to receive direct assistance from our Support Team

    What a great application. I am now able to provide remote support to clients around the world. It’s a small operation here (so far), so this budget friendly application is perfect! Normally I would be exchanging emails back and forth to clients needing help with their products. Now there’s an option – - Mikogo saves time and clients are amazed at the type of support I am now able to provide them. THANKS MIKOGO!!!

  13. Andrew on November 14, 2009 at 4:57 pm

    @Greg,
    Cheers Greg and you’re welcome. Thanks for the link – the Mikogo button looks great on your website.
    In the coming weeks, I’ll make up some new buttons that have “Support” or “Remote Support” written on them, as suggested by another user above. These may appeal for your use case.

  14. Debi on November 14, 2009 at 8:35 pm

    Please tell me IF I can have more than 10 participants and HOW…..somewhere on your site, I saw you could have up to 25 but can’t find that particular place on your site anymore…..NOW, all I see is 10 participants…..I need something up to 25 participants. Please help!

  15. Andrew on November 16, 2009 at 11:28 am

    @Debi,
    You most likely read that here: http://www.mikogo.com/product/why-its-free/ If you’re interested in a BeamYourScreen account, you can visit http://www.beamyourscreen.com for a free trial. You’ll find the interface and ease-of-use of the software very similar to Mikogo.

  16. Mark Jones on November 19, 2009 at 9:05 pm

    Love your product.
    Just put the buttons on my support page….work great.

  17. Ole Stanstrup on March 23, 2010 at 12:08 pm

    It is a great tool for remote support.

    We use the direct link to windows app. http://www.osdata.dk/fjernsupport.html

    Only little problem is that the client app is not getting focus on load/run and the client then have to toggle the id field before entering the session id.

  18. Andrew on March 23, 2010 at 2:18 pm

    @Ole
    Nice to see the button on your website. Thanks for sharing that with us.
    I’m not sure I understand exactly what the problem is for your clients. Perhaps you could take a screenshot of it and contact our Support Team: http://www.mikogo.com/support/forum/
