Kian W.

Support Engineer

“I appreciate that you have the option to use this tool without paying for it, if a meeting organizer sends you the link. Despite this, I do not like that the link to use a web browser is somewhat hidden/obscured, and that if you opt to install the temporary program, it can be difficult to fully remove from your (Windows) system.”

Colter W.
