History[edit]
In 2004, entrepreneurs Erik Boos and Mark Zondler founded BeamYourScreen GmbH (now Snapview GmbH) in Mannheim, Germany. The company then launched a few different online collaboration tools for corporate customers.[4]However BeamYourScreen was approached by individuals who asked whether a free version of its software was available, for small-time use on an irregular basis[5] and due to these requests made primarily by private users, BeamYourScreen then launched Mikogo as a free online meeting tool.[6]Mikogo has received praise for its friendly approach to online meetings as opposed to the corporate look and feel of other web conferencing solutions.[7]
On March 11, 2009, Mikogo announced the release of its free software for the Mac.[8] The release of the Mac version enabled Mikogo to function as a cross platform screen sharing tool.[9] In June 2009, Macworld UK posted a review on their website and gave Mikogo an Editor's Choice 4-Star Award, complimenting the software for its cross-platform screen sharing, features and security.[10][11]
In February 2014 Mikogo Launches Version 5 with Cross-Platform VoIP for Online Meetings[12]
Controversial Press[edit]
In April 2009, amidst the swine flu outbreak, Mikogo was criticized[13] for promoting its software as a form of swine flu prevention. Mikogo blogged about this topic and sent out an e-mail to subscribers touting the benefits of having virtual meetings in order to avoid swine flu.[14]
