Mikogo Meets Market Demand with its Version 5.2 for Online Meetings

April 15, 2015 - PRLog -- London, UNITED KINGDOM April 15, 2015 – Mikogo, the global online meeting solutions provider has officially launched Version 5.2 of its software. The new release includes a series of feature additions in the software Scheduler, an audio recording feature for VoIP calls, the latest version of the HTML Viewer, and further usability improvements. Following the results of market research via customer feedback, the changes released in Mikogo Version 5.2 reflect the current market demand of its user base.

The most notable change in Mikogo v5.2 is the updated Scheduler along with its many feature additions. Users can now take advantage of the new time zone format which instantly retrieves the user's local time and stores it in the scheduled session. The Add to Calendar feature allows users to save scheduled sessions in their email calendars along with meeting details, automatically taking into account the correct time zones. Saved in an .ics file, it works with Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook and other major email clients. Users can now simply check a box to save the Mikogo phone conference numbers in the details of a scheduled session, as well as to an email, copied session or to their calendar. The Remind Me email automates and improves productivity by sending a reminder email to the organizer ahead of the session.

Version 5.2 brings with it a combined audio and screen recording functionality, making the software’s recording feature applicable to both the screen sharing and VoIP components of the online meeting. The software now records and combines both the screen sharing and audio of the VoIP call together into one recording.

Mikogo’s award-winning HTML Viewer, which provides users with a download-free way to participate in online meetings, received an important update to its process for transmitting screen changes to meeting participants, which will deliver users with faster screen sharing.

Magnification issues are better taken into account, resulting in optimal display of texts and content. The software window resizes along with the magnification level for a more streamlined display, which is of greatest importance to Windows 8 users and people with high-resolution monitors or Microsoft Surface tablets.

Mikogo says that the additions and improvements in Version 5.2 were based on extensive user feedback, leading to expectations that the new release will be received positively by customers and users.

"Following intense internal testing, we are very pleased with the results of the new additions and improvements in Version 5.2,” says Erik Boos, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “What makes it even more satisfying is knowing that this is exactly what the market demanded and that we have delivered upon it."
