iLinc for meetings Review

At first glance the iLinc interface looks tidy and offers many useful features. Unfortunately, the handling of the web conferencing tool is not very intuitive. This especially makes the first couple of sessions a rather tedious experience. Many of the icons irritate the user more than they are helpful. E.g. the icon to leave desktop sharing mode is a red dot – easily to confuse with a “record” function. iLinc has integrated audio- (VoIP) and video next to the actual web conferencing functionality. The tool can either be used with pay-per-use, a monthly flatrate, or by purchasing the software. As an additional feature iLinc offers a “greenmeter”, which displays the amount of CO2-emissions saved by each online meeting.

Bottom line: Many functions are slow in loading and the handling of the tool is not intuitive, which spoils the fun of web conferencing, even though many good and useful features are offered.
