Mikogo Screen Sharing: Windows 10 Compatible and Cross-Platform

Nearly 4 million people have already tried Microsoft’s latest opera­ting system, Windows 10, which is expected to make its offi­cial release by the end of July this year. We can expect a large portion of Windows users to quickly adopt Microsoft’s latest pride and joy, consi­de­ring that the new opera­ting system will be given away for free. Millions of users will no doubt take advan­tage of this free offer from Micro­soft, and by the end of summer it will be common­place to see Windows 10 in the office on the computer screens of colleagues and clients.

This means you may soon find yourself in a Mikogo online meeting with a Windows 10 user. We are pleased to announce that we have tested Mikogo on Microsoft’s latest opera­ting system and found that our screen sharing soft­ware is fully compa­tible with Windows 10.

Testing Screen Sharing on Windows 10

In general, the Mikogo soft­ware on Windows 10 will operate the same as it does today on current Windows opera­ting systems with no major diffe­rences. Mikogo is compa­tible with Windows 10.

For most of you, that is the bottom line and all that you need to know. You can rest assured that if you upgrade to Windows 10, you will have no problems with running Mikogo online meetings. Mikogo is ready for Windows 10!

However if you need to know the fine details of our Windows 10 screen sharing tests, please read on.

Our deve­lo­p­ment team was one of the millions who have recently tried out Windows 10. Focu­sing first and fore­most on the screen sharing func­tio­n­a­lity of Mikogo, we tested our soft­ware thoroughly on the new opera­ting system and success­fully hosted and joined screen sharing meetings on Windows 10. This included cross-plat­form screen sharing between Windows 10 and previous versions of Windows as well as with Mac compu­ters with Mac Retina Displays, inclu­ding Mac Yose­mite 10.10.

We then put the Mikogo feature set to work. We tested the new Mikogo sche­duler features, VoIP, multi-user white­board, chat, switch presenter, remote keyboard and mouse control, the parti­ci­pant pointer, recording, lock session, pause trans­mis­sion, parti­ci­pant list emoti­cons and status symbols,… even Mikogo’s proxy connec­tion func­tio­n­a­lity was tested. We went over the features with a fine comb and are very happy with the results.

With respect to speed and memory usage, there are abso­lutely no notable diffe­rences. When running Mikogo on Windows 10 you can expect the same high-stan­dard of perfor­mance as you see today on current and previous versions of Windows.
