Why it’s free

Since launching Mikogo, the team here has received the following question on a number of occasions:

“Why would you provide such a free tool? Where’s the catch?”

The short answer: There is no catch. We provide Mikogo as a free service for everyone, with no restrictions. There is no registration fee, usage fee and no credit card details are required – and no hidden catches. We trust that such an offer will please all those looking for an easy-to-use, affordable solution to online meetings.

Now in a little more detail: Mikogo is just one product within the range of web collaboration solutions provided by BeamYourScreen. Following the great success of the primary BeamYourScreen products, many individuals contacted our company asking whether a free version was available, for small-time use on an irregular basis. These inquiries were the result of the demand for an easy-to-use desktop sharing tool that would simply do the job when the need arises. Reasons for such a tool included helping family or friends with PC problems, sharing photos, and other forms of online collaboration. As we had the technology available, and it was clear that the demand existed for such a product, we decided to launch Mikogo as a free web conferencing and remote support solution.
Naturally there is a difference between our company’s free and paid products. When using BeamYourScreen, customers have access to several further features including:
