Zoho Meeting beta is open for everyone!
Zoho meeting is another wonderful application from the Zoho Team. It is remote desktop sharing service and lets you display your desktop to other users and even better that if you want them to take control of the your desktop then you can give control to them as well. Zoho meeting was available in closed beta however, it is now open for everyone. Currently, it’s in beta but still it does the task really well.
Feature of Zoho Meeting :
- It’s Free!
- Works with all browsers (Provided you are using Flash or Java based viewer).
- Has three types of viewers to meet the requirement. ActiveX based, Java based and flash based.
- Chat with other users.
- Take control of the desktop of the presenter.
- Can be embedded in blogs or web pages.
Zoho meeting is really a nice way of remote desktop sharing, although it was a bit slow but I guess that’s more because of my slow internet connection and nothing because of Zoho. With the release of Zoho meeting, Zoho is becoming the complete online office package and now is giving competition to Webex (which is already the market leader in remote desktop sharing) but can it be better than Webex at all ?

I think we need a high speed internet connection to use it efficiently. Nice product.

Thanks for an excellent review !
Soon, we will try to make it work effectively in low-bandwidth connections also.
Hint : Remote control is a lot faster using Java/ActiveX viewer than Flash viewer.
Cheers

Agreed. But main thing the hate about them is allow embedding mostly using iFrame. iFrame method of embedding really Sucks!
