join.me Overview

Our product department uses join.me to deliver small group or 1:1 training where we primarily leverage screen sharing for demonstration purposes. We also help support the delivery of online education and when our instructors are having trouble, we usually go straight to join.me to help illustrate a solution and train our faculty. While job aids are available, we find that being able to quickly load a program and show someone a step that they might be missing, we can provide tremendous value and support to our clients.
No download/installation of a tool or application to start viewing, just open the browser and send the link. Very fast to start a session, no need to schedule an event, send out calendar invitations, have the end user downloading an application. Compatibly with browsers has been outstanding, we do not have to implement workarounds for this product. Our most technologically challenged clients have no issues launching a join.me session.

A client recommended Join.me to us at a time when we were looking for a lightweight video conferencing solution for sales presentations and team meetings. Now we use Join.me as a pitching/presentation tool and quick team meetings as an alternative to Skype and Zoom. Our primary use cases are sales presentations and team project update meetings. We see it as an easy to set up tool and there is no need to download anything so you can send out a link and start a meeting almost immediately (as long as you have participants!)
There is no free tier version beyond a free trial. It would be good if there was a free version of some sort. If you have a large meeting, it can be a bit unstable, whether this is connectivity or the platform itself is hard to say. Mobile Apps do not offer the same experience as the web experience, you can find yourself kicked out of a meeting while other participants may still be in the same meeting. Some synergy between the web and mobile apps would be great.
