Announcing the FASTEST screen sharing session start-up ever! (Say that 5 times fast!)

Fastest screen sharing session start-up ever! Fastest screen sharing session start-up ever! Arrrgh. Already I'm tongue-tied!

What it really means is that with the new Glance 2.6 beta, Glance users can now start their online demos, presentations, and meetings with just a simple browser address - for example, mine would be carla.glance.net. That's it. Really. If I were doing a web demo with you right now, I'd tell you to go to carla.glance.net in your browser. No additional keys, password, first born son, nothin'!  And you'd be connected instantly to my session, looking at what's on my screen. Now, THAT'S FAST.

(For users who prefer the extra security of a session key, that's still an option when starting a session).

Glance 2.6 beta has other cool features, too.

• Now, you can switch screen sharing between presenters and guests, so you both can see each other's screens, if necessary. This feature is also ideal if you have a co-presenter in your session.
• Collect guest contact info, at your discretion. On your Glance Web page, there are three optional fields: Name, Email, Phone. Now you can make any of these fields Required or Hidden.

If you're already a Glance customer, just go to http://www.glance.net/beta to get started. We'd love to get your feedback as you use 2.6 beta.

If you're not a Glance user yet, get a free trial by clicking the green button at the top of this page, and then ask to switch to the 2.6 beta.

If you have any questions or comments about Glance 2.6 beta, call our Test Coordinator, Jorge, at 1-877-452-6236.

(Initially, this is a PC only release. But you can also download the latest version of Glance 2.5 for Mac.)

Glance Stars In the Two Best Films of the Year!

 
Maybe we won't win any Oscars for these, but nobody can deny the importance of these two films.

Glance vs. WebEx - Glance 3x Faster
Glance vs. GoToMeeting - Glance 3x Faster

In these classic David vs. Goliath yarns, Glance is pitted against hulking, complicated opponents WebEx and GoToMeeting.

Glance runs circles around the competition to a score provided by Rossini (William Tell Overture). The facile narration of our CEO, Rich Baker, deserves props, too.

We always knew Glance was faster and so did you. But these videos prove it unflinchingly, in real time. Glance gets your web demo up and running 3x faster than WebEx and GoToMeeting, with way less buttons and tasks to perform. Seeing is believing - check it out. And feel free to spread the word. :-)

The Glance Team

Reverse Slam Dunk

The first few months of our new Reverse Screen Sharing feature (as part of the 2.4 upgrade for PCs in September) have been a runaway success.

All manner of businesses are now learning the joys of remote tech support and remote training, and wondering why they didn't do it sooner. The answer is simple: up until now, the technology to do this kind of thing has been clunky, slow, and aggravating. So, they avoided it. (It's kind of like why some people never bothered to watch videos or surf the web on their cell phones, until the iPhone came out.)

In Glance's able hands, reverse screen sharing soars! You see and control your guests screen in one click - so there's no reason to wait any longer. The future of reverse screen sharing has erupted into the present, and its free for all current Glance users, so dive in!

(And if you're currently using one of our big, lumbering opponents, feel free to switch and join the winning team any time.) You can download Glance 2.4 for PCs here. If you're reading this and you don't have a Glance account yet, grab a free trial, and if you're on a PC, you'll get our 2.4 version automatically.
