Join.me (discontinued) vs. Tencent VooV Meeting (TVM)

I would neither recommend nor dissuade anyone from using Join.Me. When it first came on the scene, it was a game-changer as far as providing remote access to other authorized individuals and helped save a great deal of time trying to walk someone less proficient through all the detailed steps of computer repair. However, with the proliferation of Zoom and other conferencing products that also provide built-in remote access through its service, the need for a separate application is now limited and not as essential as its own product.

It is most ideal for meetings with people residing in China. Outside of China, it is less common compared to Zoom, MS Teams, Google Meet, and other popular meeting platforms. While it is lesser known, it possesses powerful features and is technically on par with any other meeting platform. I have no issues using it on a daily basis. For someone whose primary calendar is Google, perhaps Google Meet is still the most seamless integrated solution.

• No need to download anything to get started. Once you sign up you can get started from within your browser. This is probably the single best feature, its a get up and go solution for video conferencing and you do not need any software for it to work.
• The one click join a meeting URL is genius. Users who struggle with remembering passwords or invites can just click a link and immediately participate in a meeting which means one email and a couple of clicks and a meeting can start.
• Good control features - As the main user, you have many control features including deciding who can speak, annotations, screen sharing easily.
• Screen Recordings to the Cloud - This can save on time when you have had a long conference, you can save a recording to the cloud and download it later.

• There should be a complete guide to understand its features before installation because if one feature will be missed then, we can’t get them working properly.
• Furthermore, there should be high-quality internet for getting its function and it won’t work without good network coverage.
• I think its interface is a little hard for beginners and is not that user friendly.

• Home screen lacks certain functions
• Integration with Google Calendar

Join.me is one of the easiest programs I've ever used. It's so easy to get it set up and installed and even easier for someone to join a meeting. The controls are very intuitive and labeled appropriately. The UIX makes sense. It's been a reliable product in my app stack-I love it!

I honestly haven't reached out to their Support team. I get notifications of what they are working on which is good to see, but I haven't directly spoken with any of them. I think my main reason for this is that join.me gives me just what I need (not much more and not much less).

This is a fairly simple product which doesn't require much "implementation" work for our use cases.

If you're looking for something basic that handles a little bit of everything when it comes to meetings, screen shares and remote desktop control join.me is a great options. If you're a super user and really wanting a lot of detailed features and rich user interfaces and money is not an issue you may want to consider use specific options.

Technically, TVM is on par and perhaps perform better than most of the rest. It does a really good job at what it's supposed to do, a meeting platform with strong support features for video, audio and presentation. The only issue is in prevalence, there doesn't seem to be a web version available, so invitees who don't have the TVM platform are required to download and install the software before they can join a meeting. This creates more friction compared to Google and MS Teams, which offer web versions of the meeting interface.

• Customer support solution - join.me has made it so much easier to quickly get with a customer and see their trouble and show them a solution. This saves lots of back and forth time and gives the customer more power over owning their solution.
• More efficient communication - without join.me we would waste time going back and forth on emails or slack trying to get our message across. Join.me lets us quickly show AND tell others what's going on. I honestly don't know how we ever functioned without it.

• Hassle-free communication with Chinese counterparts
