“…After having used [Vyew 2.0] several times, I am… impressed. Very much so, actually… The key thing is that Vyew 2.0 is just so much more than just an e-meeting tool… It’s “Free Web collaboration” at its best!”

Read the whole write-up here.

It’s here - Version 2.0! It’s been a tough road, but we think everyone will find Vyew 2.0 well worth the wait.

Over the weekend, we converted Version 1 (v1) files and meeting sessions to the new Version 2 (v2) platform. Users that have already been playing with the v2 pre-release may find some odd effects with the whiteboard drawing tools. Aside from that, the conversion should be quite smooth.

For those users that tried to access Vyew over the weekend, you likely encountered some odd behavior of the system. Our apologies for any inconvenience. At this point we are ironing out a few minor bugs, but otherwise v2 is stable and ready for use.

You can read about the new features in v2 here. A couple last-minute but very useful features not previewed in the pre-release include: 1) Post-it notes that can be embedded within pages and 2) Multiple shared pointers. Our Help and FAQ pages are 90% updated, and more will be added over time.

Enjoy, and please let us know what you think!

Mac-land, rejoice! Screen capture and desktop sharing now works on Macs, and we’ve updated both Vyew 1.0 and Vyew 2.0. But there is a catch - you have to use Safari. For some reason, we cannot get Firefox to work with Java correctly. If you know the secret between FireFox, Java and Javascript, please let us know! We’ve tested this update on our dusty Macs and it works well. If you have any problems, please provide your feedback via the the Vyew website.
