The benefit of this is that you can carry your Mikogo software on your USB drive and start meetings from your work computer and later start meetings from home or other computers. No need to install the software.

How to get the portable version:

Simply download it and save it to your USB drive. You’ll then have “Mikogo-Portable” with the icon on your portable stick. Double-click on it, Mikogo will instantly start and the little icon will appear in your system tray. Click on the icon, select “Start Meeting” and enter your user details. Click OK, and the meeting will begin – Simple!

And now you can share any content on your screen (i.e. your desktop, word documents, spreadsheets, slides, pictures, web pages, etc…) with your meeting participants.

Also, your user details (username & password) will be saved so there is no need to re-enter your details when you start a meeting from another computer. Next time you open your USB drive, open Mikogo, and select “Start Meeting”, the meeting will simply begin.

Enjoy!

Recently there has been a bit of hype and news surrounding the Mikogo Skype Extra. Our free screen sharing tool just appeared in the Skype Developer Program Newsletter with an article detailing the technology behind Mikogo. This is an interesting read for anyone who is curious about how it’s possible to collaborate over the Web in real time and how Mikogo meeting connections are established.

And yesterday we just released a news story worldwide on the Mikogo Skype Extra along with a user guide web page. This is a great web page which details step-by-step how you and your Skype contacts can get the Mikogo Extra and start a free online meeting. So check out the Skype Mikogo page to get started.

The Mikogo Skype Extra has been a big hit so far, and we believe it will continue to do so as it provides an ideal solution to Web conferencing by allowing any Skype user to share their desktop with multiple Skype contacts while talking to them via free Skype calls.

And best of all…….it’s FREE!

Cheers,
