How to keep someone out of your webinar.

Problem:

You’ve scheduled a GoToWebinar where you plan to demonstrate some new product or features that you plan to release in the future.  After posting the registration link for your webinar you realize that someone other than your desired audience has registered (for example someone from a competing company), and you do not want them seeing your demonstration.

So how do you stop them attending when they have already registered?

Solution:

Log into your GoToWebinar account and edit the registration for your scheduled webinar.  Change the registration method to Manual/Upon Approval, after that you can go to your list of registrants and only approve the ones you want and even select to deny the unwanted registrant.

Users on a PC have long since had the ability to use a “Clean” option when
showing their desktops in a GoToMeeting session. This functionality allows
you to hide your desktop icons, task bar, and desktop background.

Until recently we haven’t had the ability to do that with a Mac, however

using a 3rd party application called Backdrop, you can now get some of the
same screen effects.

icon:

Opening the Backdrop application will cause your screen to turn white. You
can change the color by opening preferences:

Once you have selected your color, you will see it change on your
background. What once looked like this:

Now, it looks like this:
