GoToMeetin​g and Webex end client control when client switches to Visual Studio or SQL Server Management Studio

Solution 1:

The article VS 2010 Team Explorer crashes with WebEx Connect has some advice that may apply here.

One advice was :

In the WebEx Connect preferences, select the Integrations category and uncheck the box labeled "Display WebEx Connect status in Microsoft Office applications".

Another was :

We had the same problem for a while. This is due to the TFS PowerTools add-on, where the Team Member collaboration points to "Microsoft Office Communicator" by default (which I don't have ! but use WebEx instead) .

Just remove the default value, that way: In Team Explorer, for ex within VS2010:

  • Right-click on the "Team Members" tree node (below "Work Items", "Reports" and "Builds")
  • Choose the last option: "Personal Settings..." (it opens a pop-up)
  • In the "Gereral" tab, you will see "Collaboration" group
  • Change the default "Provider" from "Microsoft Office Communicator" to ""
  • You will end-up having "", then click "OK"
