When it comes to online conferences, there are many applications which can make your life much easier, due to special features, like the possibility of allowing one or more users to control your computer remotely. This is the kind of functionality you can expect from join.me. It comes with the same features, but more refined. The application is straightforward and efficient, regardless of how you look at it. It gives users the possibility of setting up and joining conferences with only a few clicks.

The application comes in free and paid editions and you can have it up and running in just a few seconds. It is compatible with all popular Windows versions and it doesn't have any special requirements. Also, the application provides full support for both 32 and 64-bit operating systems.

When launched, join.me will immediately connect to your online account, after which it will display a compact user interface, with two options, for starting a new conference or joining an existing one. Furthermore, you can choose between two sharing options if you decide to start a new conference. You can either create a custom link for your conference or generate a unique, one-time ID, which you have to send to your contacts.

If you create a conference, the application will start sharing your entire screen automatically, but you can set it to share a specific window if you need to. While holding a conference, the application will display its controls on a small screen, so they won't get in your way. Also, you can make annotations on your screen, take screenshots or start recording, schedule future meetings and more.

When you join an existing conference, a live view of the host's desktop will appear on a new window. A series of options are available on this window, which you can use to communicate to other users, via text messages or voice calls. What's more, you can request special privileges from the host to make annotations yourself and even to control the host computer.

Pros

You can create or join meetings with a single click. The application allows you to chat via text or voice calls and make annotations or control the host computer remotely. The application's functionality is straightforward and its controls are very easy to understand.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to mention. Thanks to join.me, hosting or attending online meetings can be done on the fly.
