Cause of excessive refreshes in Webdirect with Join.me

[mbarrett65]

I recently did a demo for a colleague of some Webdirect layouts via Join.me. She was located in California and I was in Brooklyn, NY. While the layouts had been performing fine for me, when I started to show her the layouts via Join.me, I started experiencing repeated page refreshes.

While this is not the first time I've experienced excessive page refreshes in Webdirect, I was wondering if possibly Join.me was contributing to the problem in that instance. Any thoughts around the impact of Join.me and page refreshes in Webdirect?

Definite impact.  Things like Join.me and GoToMeeting all tax the screen display.

Thanks very much for your response. Do you think demo'ing Webdirect using join.me or GTM is generally unworkable and should be avoided or would it be fine in some instances?

Hard to say.  Much depends on the connection, the design and the sharing software.  I would first try it with different tools like TeamViewer, GoToMeeting,... to see if one performs better than the other.
