How to open G2M file?

This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the G2M file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Programs to open G2M file
Remember to download programs supporting G2M files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of GoToMeeting with G2M files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the G2M file still does not use the GoToMeeting program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the G2M file with the GoToMeeting application.
Step 3. Update GoToMeeting to the latest version
If, however, after binding GoToMeeting with GoToMeeting Video Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Citrix Systems, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the G2M file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to G2M files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our G2M file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover G2M files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the G2M file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged G2M files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted G2M files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the G2M file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the G2M file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the G2M file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
