Let s talk Presenter Swap . This feature is an easy way to pass the presenter role to anyone on a Mac or a PC. As a pro host, you can let any participant (free or pro) show you their screen. Now we really mean it : I ll show you mine if you show me yours. If you want to check it out, sign up for a free join.me pro trial here .
You can find the feature under the Participants button in your presenter toolbar. Just click the raised hand next to whomever you d like to pass the presenter role to. If they don t have the join.me desktop app, they ll be asked to download it in order to be the presenter. And if they keep the desktop app on their desktop, they can host their own join.me meetings. With or without you. (Hopefully, you ll be invited).

Nice work! No doubt this will come in handy for a lot of people.
This brings it closer in parity to GoToMeeting – it’s the one major feature we were missing. (The other is saved call-in numbers & meeting IDs so we can just have a regular destination.)
With join.me pro, you can do both of those things. You can save your own dial-in number on your pro account so its the same every time, and get your own personal link so the meeting destination is always the same.
Try join.me pro (for free, no credit card required) and check it out – you’ll immediately be prompted to enter your own personal link and save it; the audio settings have their own settings under ‘settings.’
The only two reasons left I have for keeping GTM are: 1) no VOIP capabilities with join.me – you have to dial via phone, when sometimes I like to use microphone and speakers. 2) I’ve run into several (many) instances where the people I want to see my screen are blocked by firewalls/filters, etc. at their workplace. Which is too bad because I HAVE to use GTM then.
Second, I’d really be interested to hear more about the issues are you experiencing with firewalls/filters in the workplace. That’s something our Support and Dev team will definitely want to know about. I would appreciate it if you sent me an email (maggie@join.me) pivot to see if we can come up with what’s going on.
maggie, pivot product expert at join.me says:
Is there any functionality that will allow us to set up join.me and leave the computer for someone to auto join, and request screen sharing which will be accepted on the input of a code? I really love the program, and it runs so smoothly. However I am often in need of accessing my home desktop from work, and there is no one here to accept the requests to share the desktop.
There isn’t – join.me is really meant for ad-hoc screen sharing. If you are looking to access a remote desktop pivot (like your home computer from your work computer), check out LogMeIn.com pivot – it allows for free unattended access.
Any participant can transfer a file to any other participant at any time. If you want to “grab” a file from someone else’s desktop without them doing any of the work, have them be the presenter and give you remote control so you can take over their desktop and send the file to yourself however you’d like.
This is great. I generally need to do a lot of WebEx sessions with the offshore team in India and join me is faster and sleek. Nice work! However, can a meeting host see an attendee’s desktop without attendee’s pivot knowledge or without screen sharing done by the attendee? Just curious about the security and privacy aspect of this.
The meeting host cannot pivot see the attendee’s desktop unless they presenter swap, which the attendee has to accept. Its a very controlled feature. We also have a security whitepaper on our site, if you want more – click on “For Biz” in our upper nav on our homepage.
