                GLOWPOINT ANNOUNCES CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING PLAN;
               COMPANY EXPECTS TO SAVE UP TO $10 MILLION ANNUALLY


HILLSIDE, N.J., MARCH 2, 2006 -- Glowpoint, Inc. (OTC: GLOW.PK), the world's
leading broadcast quality IP-based video communications service provider, today
announced the implementation of a corporate restructuring plan designed to
reduce ongoing expenses with the goal of being cash-flow positive by the end of
this fiscal year, or earlier if additional items currently under consideration
are adopted. The plan is designed to reduce certain operating, sales and general
and administrative costs without impacting Glowpoint's existing network
capabilities, customer services or support. The plan accelerates cost reduction
initiatives begun during the fourth quarter of 2005, including the elimination
of underutilized backbone connectivity, aggregation hubs and Internet capacity
across the Company's global IP-video network. The restructuring efforts are not
expected to have any adverse impacts on current revenue.

The restructuring actions are expected to enable the Company to generate up to
$10 million in annualized cost savings, or a reduction of over 30% of its total
costs. Up to 70% of these annualized savings are expected to be driven from a
reduction in direct and corporate sales and general and administrative costs,
with the remaining 30% of the annualized savings resulting from a reduction in
the cost of goods sold.

"We are accelerating a cost reduction plan that improves our operating
efficiencies and gross margins, while continuing to operate in those areas where
we see future growth, including the replacement of ISDN usage with our "All You
Can See" IP-based video calling plans, IP-based broadcast solutions and IVE, our
mobile two-way video communications service," stated Glowpoint President and
Chief Executive Officer David Trachtenberg. "We strongly believe that this
restructuring initiative allows the Company to operate as a stand-alone entity
positioned to capitalize on the growth opportunities in our market sector, while
continuing to explore the strategic alternatives we have been working on with
Rothschild, Inc."


As part of the strategic initiative, Glowpoint announced management changes,
including the promotion of Michael Brandofino to Chief Operating Officer with
principal responsibility for the implementation and management of the
restructuring plan. The Company also announced that Rod Dorsey, executive vice
president and chief financial officer since December 2004, will be leaving
Glowpoint in April 2006 to pursue other opportunities. Mr. Dorsey will be
focused on completing the Company's restatement for its fiscal year 2004 and the
first quarter of 2005. He will transition his responsibilities to Ed Heinen,
Glowpoint's vice president and controller who will become acting CFO upon Mr.
Dorsey's departure. Other employee related changes include the elimination of
non-customer supporting staff by over 35%.

"Our corporate objective is to accelerate our cost savings without impacting our
portfolio of IP-video services or the support our customers and partners have
come to expect from Glowpoint," said Mike Brandofino, Glowpoint's chief
operating officer. "Glowpoint has a proven track record of managing change in
our global IP-network while maintaining the broadcast quality experience for our
customers. With Glowpoint's strong foundation as a technology leader in the
global IP-video market, I am excited about the Company's future prospects. We
are working closely with our existing customer base to expand their use of
IP-video and are aggressively pursuing new initiatives through direct sales and
partnerships to grow our business."
