      GLOWPOINT ISSUES $5.65 MILLION IN SENIOR SECURED COVERTIBLE NOTES IN
                               PRIVATE PLACEMENT
 Proceeds to Support Corporate Restructuring Program and Ongoing Working Capital

HILLSIDE, N.J - APRIL 4, 2006, GLOWPOINT, INC. (OTC: GLOW.PK), the world's
leading broadcast-quality IP-based video communications service provider,
announced today that it has issued $5.65 million of its senior secured
convertible notes and warrants to private investors in a private placement,
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $5.2 million after
fees and transaction expenses. In the transaction, the Company issued $5,665,000
aggregate principal amount of its 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes, Series A
Warrants to purchase 5,665,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$0.65 per share and Series B Warrants to purchase 5,665,000 shares of common
stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Series B Warrants only become
exercisable if the Company fails to achieve positive operating income,
determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding restructuring and non-cash
charges, in the fourth quarter of 2006. In addition, the Series B Warrants will
be cancelled if the Company consummates a strategic transaction or repays the
Notes prior to the date it makes its financial statements for the fourth quarter
of 2006 available to the public. The Notes mature on September 30, 2007 and are
convertible into common stock at a conversion rate of $0.50 per share. All of
the unexercised Warrants expire five years after the closing date. The Company
agreed to change the exercise price of all previously issued warrants held by
the investors in this offering to $0.65, and to extend the term of any such
warrants that would expire earlier to three years after the offering date. The
proceeds of the offering will be used to support the previously announced
corporate restructuring program and for ongoing working capital.

"This financing represents a key element in Glowpoint's corporate restructuring
plan," said David C. Trachtenberg, Glowpoint's President and Chief Executive
Officer. "With progress on the restatement of our financial statements and
continued improvement of our financial position, we are confident that we can
continue to execute against our objective to reach positive operating income."

The unregistered notes and warrants were sold to unrelated institutional
investors in reliance on Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. Pursuant
to the terms of the financing, the Company has agreed to file a registration
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the
shares of common stock underlying the notes and the warrants, once the Company's



common stock becomes eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. For
additional information, please refer to the Company's Form 8-K to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, with respect to this transaction.
