Mikogo Releases Cross-Platform Remote Support Software

Remote support now available on both Mac and PCsMannheim, GERMANY April 15, 2009 – Mikogo has announced the release of the new remote control feature for its Mac Beta version, equipping the free cross-platform web conference software with a valuable remote support function. The news comes shortly after the successful release of Mikogo’s first Mac Beta version a month ago, and complements Mikogo’s version for PC computers.

Both Mikogo’s PC and Mac versions provide an easy-to-use web conferencing solution that allows any private user or company to organize an online meeting with up to 10 participants. Following today’s release, Mikogo users have a multi-purpose cross-platform application for online meetings as well as remote support, and all at no cost.

“Since last month’s Beta version, Mac users have been picking up our software for online meetings, web conferencing and screen sharing,” explains Erik Boos, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “Now with the new remote control feature, companies have an all-in-one software application that allows them to not only make Web presentations and conferences but also assist clients via remote support.”

You’ve no doubt read about this via my email yesterday, or blog post the day before, or perhaps a friend/colleague of yours let you in on the goss. Whatever the reason, I imagine you are here because you are keen to test the Mikogo Mac Beta version and contact us with your feedback.

A few things to note:

The client is cross platform, so that both Mac and PC users can start meetings, and invite both Mac and PC users to participate. I.e. Windows participants can join a meeting started by a Mac user. This means a few different downloads:

Mac Download: There is just one download to both start and join meetings with a Mac.
Mikogo Mac Client (.dmg)

Windows Download:
Mikogo Organizer – this is needed to start meetings
Mikogo Participant – this is needed to join meetings. (just download, not an install)

There are no passwords required to receive the above files – simply download them.

Once you have downloaded the Mikogo Mac client, you can start meetings by using your current Mikogo username and password. For those beta testers who are new to Mikogo, you can register for a free Mikogo account here. Please note, that only the meeting organizer needs account details. Participants do not need to register in order to join.

Getting Mikogo Started on the Mac
For details and screenshots on getting Mikogo started on the Mac, please take a look at the Mikogo Mac webpage.

Beta Feedback
As mentioned Mikogo is now cross platform. Ideally it would be great to receive beta feedback from a range of different scenarios (if it is possible). e.g. Mac/PC as organizer and Mac/PC as participant.

Once you have tested the Mikogo Mac Beta version and you wish to send us your feedback, please take note of the following:
1. all feedback should be sent to mac(at)mikogo.com
2. Please include your hardware and software specifications
3. If you find a problem/bug, please help us by providing a detailed description, ideally with screenshots and with steps on how this may be reproduced.

Please understand that we require the above points to ensure that we can quickly identify problems, fix them, and then officially finalize the Mac version for everyone.

Features Available in Mikogo Mac version

  • Starting and joining meetings
  • Switch presenter
  • Mouse pointer for participants
  • Zoom viewing screen

We will release new Mac beta versions with further features (e.g. remote control) as and when they become available – so stay tuned :-)

We’re keen to officially release the Mac version, so once again thanks for your help and beta testing.
