Key Features To Look For In Webinar Software

By Ken Morrison


Today, businesses are utilizing webinar software to conduct a majority of their business meetings. This unique software allows interactive presentations and seminars to be hosted right from your computer screen.

The key behind web conferencing software is that it provides a means to have a real time two way flow of information between participants. A presenter can interact freely with recipients in multiple locations. In many ways, a good web meeting package can make you feel as if everyone is located in the same room.

There are lots of different product offerings to choose from. There are some specific aspects that can make some tools stand out above the competition. The two major areas to consider when selecting a package are price and functionality.

Considering price may be obvious, but many web conferencing tools are offered as a pay by the minute plan. This can sound appealing, but often leads to higher costs than anticipated. Often, choosing a low flat rate monthly plan can be the most cost effective. It is also much easier to factor in to the monthly budget.

The next important aspect to consider is functionality. While there are many different options to choose from, two of the key functions to look for are desktop sharing capabilities and audio and video support. With desktop sharing, the participant can view anything the presenter is sharing directly on his or her screen. In some cases, the presenter can even give temporary control of his desktop to the meeting participants allowing them to manipulate the screen themselves. Audio and Video support allows the presenter to incorporate multimedia video elements to the presentation making the whole experience much more dynamic.

If you have to conduct business meetings with participants in multiple locations, web conferencing software is the way to go. Investing in a low cost solution such as this can greatly reduce the cost of hosting a traditional business meeting without loosing any of its effectiveness.
