 Citrix online group released a beta version of new product called GoView this week.
  Citrix online group released a beta version of new product called [GoView|http://goview.com] this week.
  
 Here is my first look at this product. I would like to share a short demo recording I created using GoView and some tips and tricks I learned from this first try.
  
 h1. Install:
  
 I signed up at [goview.com web site|https://goview.com/goldwyn/spring/register?method=register]
  
 I got it up and running with a few clicks and under a minute. Time may vary depending on your network and compute speed.
  
 h1. Record my first screen cast:
  
 I didn't have to read any document and I was able to create my first test screen cast without any trouble. And the performance is good. Please see [my test recording. |http://goview.com/?id=af038677-5ab7-49ae-9f62-aebf49a8211c ]
  
 h1. Things I like and things that differentiate this product:
  
 * Simplicity. I've used other similar products. This product doesn't have all the bells and whistles. But it is definitely the simplest and easiest one to use I've seen.
  
 * Video is uploaded while I am recording. I don't have to perform an additional upload step.
  
 * Ability to protect shared video with a password.
  
 * Easy and intuitive editing tool to cut out the unwanted portion. The tool also allows a slide show to be inserted which is useful for transition into another sequence.
  
 * Ability to download your recordings as MPEG-4 files.
  
 h1. Things I would like to see added:
  
 * Ability to embed views in my blog
  
 * Ability to zoom in and out of an area while recording.
  
 I was told that the GoView product team has these features on their list for future development consideration already.
  
 h1. Additional demo videos that may be helpful:
  
 These videos include audios.

 * [How to Edit|http://goview.com/goldwyn/spring/play?method=playerDemo&recordingId=b00dbea5-c514-42f5-99d7-295fa2ebbbf8]
  
 * [How to Manage & Share | http://goview.com/goldwyn/spring/play?method=playerDemo&recordingId=672494b2-042f-4f12-93a5-03c3025bf319]
  
 h1. Tips and Tricks:
  
 * If you use dual monitors, you may want to move your desktop icons and windows task bar to your secondary monitor, so that your primary monitor has a clean background for recording.
  
 * You can pause recording when you need to prepare the screen for the next sequence and resume when you are ready.
  
 h1. Your turn:
  
 GoView is *free* during the beta testing. Give it a try yourself at [http://goview.com]
  
 Send your feedback via the feedback link on help page. I got my response back in an hour. The team is listening.
  
 I'd love to hear your experience and see your own cool demos.
