Web Conference

By Debra



Online web conferencing is when a couple of people or groups of people have meetings or even give presentations over the Internet. For those who were involved in computers when they first came on to the market, a web conference meant something much more different than it does today and referred to online communication within the confines of a message board or forum. Today, a web conference is strictly considered a live communication that takes place over the Internet.

With online web conferencing, everyone who is going to be participating needs to be in front of their computer and connected with the other people who are going to participate in the call through the Internet. Basic online web conferencing allows the participants to share the images that are visible on the screen. In other words, all the participants can see the image that is on the person who is presenting the information or images screen. Of course online web conferencing must have the ability to allow voice communication between participating parties as well. Sometimes this is done through a traditional telephone conference or even by using text in a chat forum, but most of the time participants can simply use a microphone that is already a part of their web camera.

Online web conferencing typically allows its participants to do a number of other things while holding a conference. Presenters can feature a slide presentation that is often the product of a program called PowerPoint, interactive web browsing, the ability to highlight key points or areas in a presentation, file sharing, text messaging, the sharing of applications and surveys and polls. As technology is advancing, most web conference software enables presentations or conferences during online web conferencing to be recorded in order to play it back at another time.

As technology allows for more and more to be done over the Internet, online web conferencing is often done with web cams for live video and audio. The terms video conferencing and web conferencing are now being used interchangeably as the way a web conference is held reflects ever changing technological advances.

Businesses that are interested in online web conferencing will need to purchase the web conferencing as a service that is hosted on a web server that is controlled by the merchant. Online web conferencing can usually be purchased for each individual use with charges per minute of use or sometimes based on how many will be participating in the web conference. Those who use online web conferencing frequently can purchase web conference software that is useable as an officially authorized product that allows businesses to use the software for conferencing on their own servers. Businesses that hold mainly person to person online web conferencing or even have small groups that participate in a web conference often don’t need a server. They can simply make use of software that allows for person-to person online web conferencing.

Online web conferencing has grown exceedingly quickly over the past decade and is a common alternative used to avoid expensive travel that is simply unnecessary with the ease and affordability of a web conference. Online web conferencing makes communication much easier between people and offers a more personal touch than when communicating strictly by voice on the phone.
