Web conferencing services involve any kind of interactive meeting that occurs via the web between two or more participants. These participants may be as close as a desk away or across the other side of the world from each other. Web conferences may include one or all of these features: audio, data and/or video conferencing solutions, depending on the needs of the users.
Web conferencing enables several communication components to work together, enhancing the benefits and features being used. Several collaboration tools support the web meeting with:
- Application and file sharing
- Desktop sharing
- Co-browsing the internet
- White boards
- Polling/Surveying
- Text messaging
- PowerPoint presentations
- Private meeting rooms
Your online conference will combine all or some of these features and will bring to life your online meeting as if you are all in a board room together, looking at the same presentation, real-time.
