GotoWebinar only via Browser

Hello,
we want all webinars to only work via the browser. It must be possible without manually adding "? ClientType = html5" to the invitation url. When you click on the landing link, regardless of which webinar you participate in, you will first be selected via browser and then perhaps via the client or desktop version. When will this be available for analog teams, zoom, etc.?
Thanks.

Set up your webinars as a Webcast, rather than a Standard or Classic Webinar. The Organizers and Panelists still use the GoToWebinar application, but all Attendees will join in a web browser.

Attendees have to use their computer speakers, they can not use the phone as their audio option.

Note: Regular Attendees cannot be promoted to be Panelist or Organizer.

FYI - Edge is based on Chrome, so it should work.

Hi @rgerber

Currently for Standard GoToWebinars if you are using a Windows PC or Mac that meets our system requirements we will automatically try to have you join by installing our desktop software as it provides the best user experience. If you are using a Linux PC or ChromeOS we will automatically have you join through the web browser, Chrome is preferred but any Chrome based browser should work. The next generation of GoToWebinar that we are currently working on will offer an improved browser based option to all attendees. We will start to share more details about this once we are closer to a release.

Does GoToWebinar work on another browser such as Edge? I have lots of people who will not use GoToOpener and just want to use a browser. I am going to switch to Zoom.

Hi @SOKA-BAU

Chris is correct, at this time using the webcast option is the easiest way to achieve this currently.
