Audio conferencing is a well-established method of holding meetings without the need to travel. Now web conferencing can add the invaluable visual and interactive dimensions by enabling participants to share documents and view demonstrations and presentations via their PCs.
In partnership with Microsoft®, BT Wholesale offers Live Meeting, a simple and complete solution to your own or your customers' web conferencing needs. It's an easy-to-use, best-in-class service that requires only a PC with internet access (and a telephone connection when used in conjunction with phone conferencing). Live Meeting offers:
- A simple user interface - participants require no training.
- Multiple presenter capability - enabling joint presentations from people who are geographically separated.
- On-screen polling/voting.
- The option of text-based questions and answers - enabling more detailed interaction.
- A chat facility that enables text conversations between participants without disturbing the main conference.
- A whiteboard for the spontaneous creation of text and graphics.
- A record and reply facility - for later viewing by people who could not attend or as a record of the meeting.
- Integration with Outlook and desktop systems - for easy scheduling and management.
