Web Conferencing Basics
An integrated web conferencing solution provides a central online meeting place for people all over the world. With a simple click of the mouse, you can present PowerPoint slides, run a software demonstration, or even hold brainstorming sessions using a whiteboard.
Most web conferencing applications share the same basic features. You get application sharing that allows you to pass the controls of your PC over to a participant at any time. White boarding and screen sharing allow everyone to take down notes and share ideas in real time. You could also share entire files with everyone in attendance at once.
Your audience gets to share in the interactive environment as well. Web conferencing solutions usually provide polling, Q&A capabilities, and live chat to enhance their experience.
When you're ready to purchase a web conferencing program, go with the vendor who offers the products and services that best suit your business. Also, look for companies that are financially stable — you don't want to select a vendor with an unproven background.
