Moving GoTo Opener to Another Computer

GoToMeeting is a business-grade audio and video conferencing app that uses a helper app called GoTo Opener to launch users' active sessions.

When you download and install the GoToMeeting software, the GoTo Opener application is also installed on your computer.

Can the GoTo Opener application be moved to another computer if there's an issue with your original one?

In this article, we'll explain what GoTo Opener is and how to set it up and move its files to another computer.

[1]Why you might want to move your GoTo Opener to another computer

Why would you want to move your Opera, files, or settings to another computer? There are many reasons:

Your app isn't running properly on your computer, and you need to join a meeting.

• Your computer is broken or damaged, and you're trying to recover your settings. • You're using a backup computer, or you've switched to a better one. • You've forgotten your password.

• You previously used a mobile device and now want to switch to a computer.
• You've been using the web version of goto Opener and are now getting a new computer.

What is GoTo Opener in Windows 10?

GoTo Opener is a "helper" app for GoToMeeting that helps join you to an active session. It runs each time you start joining a meeting or any GoTo service to connect you to the session.

When you install the GoToMeeting client software, the GoTo Launcher application is automatically installed on your computer. It's part of a bundle that is downloaded with GoTo Assist/Meeting.

GoTo Opener was previously known as the "Citrix Online Launcher" application. So if you see an application on your computer called "Citrix Online Launcher", it means you've used an older version of GoToAssist Corporate and have not yet updated.
