Gogrok 2.0 Beta – Highlight key areas and draw freehand on the shared content during a presentation
Gogrok 2.0 Beta is well equipped with an easy and powerful annotation tool set. It allows Application Owners to draw freehand and mark up key areas of the shared content during Gogrok sessions. Not only the Application Owners can use the annotation tools, the participants who are granted the editing right have access to the annotation panel as well. The annotation tools provide a convenient way for interactive presentations, two-way browsing and reading, brainstorming, and online tutoring.
Before we put Gogrok 2.0 Beta to a formal release, we would like to invite you to try Gogrok 2.0 Beta first.
* Please note that the version 2.0 Beta is not compatible with other old versions of Gogrok. All session participants have to install this version in order to perform a successful connection.

Other New Features:
●
Higher Security Level to Protect Your Privacy
All Gogrok data streams, including screen images, mouse movements, and keyboard signals, are end-to-end encrypted using PKI and Blowfish encryption technology. This ensures your Gogrok sessions are completely private and secure. For maximum security, Gogrok is using 64-bit block cipher algorithm with a 128-bit encryption key, which is the leading internet standard for securing sensitive data transit.
●
Better Connectivity
- Firewall friendly
For better internet traffic control, many organizations adopt advanced firewall to block certain access. The restricted firewall rules have accidentally blocked Gogrok from communicating over the internet sometimes. To solve this, Gogrok 2.0 Beta applies the sophisticated analysis technology that will scan your network system rapidly and connect automatically through ports that are already opened in most firewalls. Therefore it provides a high degree of compatibility with your existing network security.
- SOCKS5 and HTTPS Proxy Server
To ensure Gogrok users who behind proxy servers can still connect, Gogrok 2.0 Beta now supports proxy server internet connection. Click " Options" on Gogrok window and then go to "Network " to enter the proxy settings. If you have problems with proxy server settings, please consult with your network administrator for assistance.
●
Viewer Pointer
The remote participants of the same Gogrok session can click and hold their left mouse button to move their own viewer pointers into the shared screen without controlling the Application Owner's computer. This serves as indicators for participants to communicate screen positions they are referring to others, and help them understand each other better. If there is more than one viewer, the pointers will show in different colors to distinguish. The viewer pointers can be removed by Viewers right clicking on the pointers or Application Owners left clicking on the pointers. This feature is great for online meetings, online services, and e-learning.
