David law – Agreed on that part. That’s why they have BETArelease

The downside of using the free beta version is that the presentation may not be as smooth as a tested solution’s because the software designers are still trying to work out all of its bugs to test for reliability and level of engagement.

I hate to LOL people, but I have to LOL you at this one! I have a live planner; a person to plan all my meetings for me. How lucky is that?

Grace – Did I get that wrong? Is that live or life planner lol

Zoho Meeting sounds great, but I’ve already got an assistant to plan all my meetings for me so that I don’t plan them myself! (How great is that? A real live planner! )

SRK – Thanks for the update!

Idea of giving a link there would be great from the usability perspective.

we would wait for the final release to see everything corrected / enhanced.

BTW, Thank you for taking in the feedback.

Thanks for the kind words.

We will provide an option to turn on/off saving of chat transcripts, and also give a link to transcript from the Meeting page. That should make it better I guess..
We don’t close/time-out the Meeting, unless the user closes the Presenter Agent/toolbar, or you could do this from the Client. That could be the ambiguity. We will try to handle this better..
Audio-conferencing/Mac support : We will try to complete it as soon as we can..

Thanks once again,

Cheers

SRK – Thanks for stopping by.

1. Skype integration is Cool but would really anticipate in built conferencing.

2. Hope you guys will reach there soon. you have been there right from first day with iZoho apps for iPhone!. So I would really believe that would not take much time.

3. I didn’t have any clue about transcript saved over there. But is there option to turn on / off as well.

4. I’m not sure. If i got it wrong. In my case the meeting was active till next day i logged in back to Zoho Meeting. that’s why i assumed events are not logged at all. In case of failures notification would be great!

5. you’re on track before anyone notes it down

Great work guys!

Hi Benedict,

Many thanks for the great write-up.

I want to add some points :
1.) Audio : We are working on Skype integration (should be up in a week or so). Custom audio conferencing will come up in a few months !
2.) Presenter support for Mac : You got it right. We are on it, though I can’t commit a time-frame for it :-
3.) Chat transcripts are ‘automatically’ saved in Zoho Chat server. You can login to http://chat.zoho.com and see your transcript for the Meeting. We will fix the copy paste bug – sorry about that.
4.) Event logging : Currently, we do catch failures in the Server, but don’t refresh the client page automatically. I would like to hear from you, on how you want this to be done. Are you expecting a notification of some sort in the client , or will auto-refresh do?
5.) Option to switch Presenter : Coming soon

Please correct me if I have misunderstood something.

Have a nice day,
Cheers
SRK

Oh, just noticed you have an extra “e” in their URL.
