Mikogo Version 4 is Officially Here!
After a successful beta stage (to those who volunteered as beta testers – thanks!), we have officially launched Version 4. For those of you who have not tried Version 4 yet, when you update to the new software you will see a new-look user interface, a range of additional features, and it is available on three computer platforms: Windows, Mac and Linux – this means you can start a session from either one of these platforms and have participants join from the same or one of the other platforms.
Handy Links for Using Mikogo Version 4
Keen to get started with Version 4? Here are a bunch of links that will help you:
- Software Downloads – as there are three platforms for Version 4, you will find the appropriate software for each on these pages:
Version 4 for Windows
Version 4 for Mac
Version 4 for Linux - User Guides – user guides for all three platforms can be found by clicking here.
- Included Features – for a quick overview of the all the new features included in Version 4, please take a look at our Features Document.
Mikogo Version 4 is now the standard download and software build that we will support on our website. Consequently we encourage you to update to the new version.
If you have any support questions about getting started with Version 4, please contact our Support Team.
Thanks and hope you enjoy your new Mikogo Version 4 sessions!
Thank you for providing such an awesome tool to share screens. I have been using Mikogo for a couple years now and have never had problems like I did when I used other screen sharing providers.

Congratulations for officially announcing Mikogo Version 4. I would like to take this opportunity to say a couple of words about my recent experience with this superb tool.
Beginning this year I started online synchronous courses in mathematics and logic using Mathematica, Mikogo (3.0) and Skype. The Mathematica frontend acts as my “whiteboard”, which is transmitted to my students in real time via the Mikogo window. The results achieved so far have been astoundingly positive, so much so that many former presential students are now using Mikogo to take my classes online. For more details about this innovative and very positive enterprise, please take a look at

It’s really cool, super simple to install j’an finally find what I seek.
Moreover Management 2 screen is fabulous.
@Carlos, it’s great that you’re getting so much use out of Mikogo. I took a look at your web pages. You might want to update the information you have there, in particular the “Aqui” link on your AulaOnline page. That links to a Version 3 download, but if you start sessions with Version 4, your students should join your sessions with Version 4. The new Version 4 download links are here: http://www.mikogo.com/download/windows-download/
Andrew, thank you very much for pointing out the link update. However, there was a reason to stay with Mikogo 3 until now. For each online class I have a main Mathematica notebook (call it X) in which I do all my work. Sometimes theres is a hyperlink from X to another Mathematica notebook Y (containing an animation, a special graphics etc.) Now, here is the problem I noticed: when I close Y to return to X, Mikogo 4 (in it´s beta stage) seems to interpret this as closing Mathematica, and not a window. As a consequence, X disappears from the screen, forcing me to check Mathematica again in the applications list. I do not know yet whether this changed with the new release, but I´ll try it soon. (Sorry for not having reported this issue before.)
It doesn’t work in Lion — please Fix, hopefully its an easy fix.
@Eugen, yes we’re aware of this. Unfortunately Apple released Lion at almost the same time as we officially released our new software
Our developers are looking into how we can make Mikogo work in Lion

Thanks so much for supporting Linux!! I’ve run it in Ubuntu 11.04 64bit with great success!
1 minor issue is when you try to switch presenter, the drop-down doesn’t actually come up (i think it gets hidden behind the app screen) so I’ve been using the sys tray to do it instead. But it’d be nice to get that fixed.
Also, I did notice that the Linux support isn’t feature parity with the Windows. Controlling which apps are shared and the Whiteboard appear to be missing? What are the plans for these?
@Gennady
That’s right – the whiteboard and application selection features are not yet available in the Linux version but the dev team is looking into it to.
I’ll report the problem regarding the switch presenter drop-down menu to dev and they might get in contact with you if they need more info.
One feature I miss in version 4 is the ability to pick my meeting ID. Any chance this will make a comeback in the future?
@Brad,
No we removed this feature for security reasons. Please read Q13 in the FAQ for more info: http://www.mikogo.com/support/faq/#Q13
It is still possible to “reserve” session IDs (but not pick your own custom IDs) by using the Scheduler. You can then keep those scheduled sessions and those reserved IDs in your Mikogo Scheduler and use them again and again.
Thanks for supporting Linux!! I’ve run it in Ubuntu 11.04 64bit with great success!
[...] Mikogo es una herramienta para compartir nuestro escritorio y controlar una compu remota en forma segura, pero que hasta ahora solo se encontraba disponible para Windows y Mac OS X. Pero con la llegada de su versión 4, ahora también está disponible para Linux y así se convierte en una alternativa multiplataforma con la cual todos los usuarios podemos contar. [...]
