               GlowPoint Raises $13.7 Million In Private Placement
             Proceeds to Accelerate Sales and Marketing Initiatives

HILLSIDE, N.J - February 18, 2004, Glowpoint, Inc., (Nasdaq:GLOW), the nation's
first and leading carrier-grade, IP-based video communications service provider,
announced today that it has raised gross proceeds of $13.7 million through a
private placement of its common stock and warrants with private investors. In
the transaction, which closed on Tuesday, February 17, 2004, the Company sold
6,100,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.25 per share. The
purchasers were also issued 1,830,000 common stock purchase warrants at an
exercise price of $2.75 per share. The warrants expire five and a half years
after the closing date. The proceeds will be used for sales and marketing
initiatives targeted at GlowPoint's key vertical market segments, including
financial, government and legal.

"This financing represents a vote of confidence in GlowPoint's ability to
execute and deliver on its mission of making video communications an integral
business tool," said David C. Trachtenberg, GlowPoint's President and Chief
Executive Officer. "In a short period of time, the new management team has
already identified and delivered on key initiatives to reduce costs, while
enhancing our relationships with new distribution partners and our customer
base." Trachtenberg continued, "Today we send a clear message to our customers,
distributors and technology partners; GlowPoint has the financial strength to
invest in its core business to generate revenue growth."

The common stock and warrants were sold to unrelated institutional and

1933. Burnham Hill Partners acted as exclusive placement agent in connection
with this financing. Pursuant to the terms of the financing, the Company has
