Messaging & Collaboration: Citrix GoView Recording Service Is Easy to Use, but Has Limitations, eWEEK Labs Says


Citrix GoView, which debuted at DEMO 09, is an easy-to-use Web-based service for recording browsing sessions and application training, and then sharing those recordings with colleagues and clients. The GoView beta has many shortcomings, not the least of which is that it is Windows-only when it comes to making recordings and is lacking in capabilities such as decent editing tools. But GoView has a lot of potential for those needing training and demo videos useful for walking employees and clients through processes and new applications, but not needing the complexity and price of traditional applications in these areas, such as Adobe Captivate. Currently GoView, which is in a closed beta, is free to use.

  • Installation
    GoView installs a Windows executable that runs from the Windows tray. To record an application session, users simply click on the GoView icon in the tray.
  • Accessing the Recordings
    Once content is recorded, it is automatically uploaded to the GoView Web service, where users can access all the recordings they have made.
  • A View from the Browser
    From the Web service, users can view any recordings they have made from within the browser.
  • Online Editing
    A very simple online editing application lets users make basic changes to their recordings.
  • Password Protection
    Recordings on GoView can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized access.
  • Converting to MPEG-4
    Users wanting to do further edits to their recordings or wishing to have access to the video outside of the GoView service can convert the recordings to the MPEG-4 format and download them to their systems.
