Audio exchange over the Internet, also known as Internet telephony or voice conferencing, enables you to talk to people all over the world, at the cost of your Internet connection. The quality of the audio depends on such factors as the speed of your Internet connection, the volume of traffic on the network, and whether or not you are transferring other data at the same time. The drawings appear on all participants' screens, in close to real time. Files from other programs can also be pasted into the whiteboard.
All participants can draw simultaneously and see what others are drawing.
With NetMeeting's application-sharing feature, you can use a program while people in another meeting can watch what you are doing. Those people can even take control of the program and use it themselves, even if they don't have a copy on their own computer. You could load an Excel worksheet, for example, and change formulas, even as you continue speaking to others in a meeting. NetMeeting's chat feature allows people to send text messages to each other. Just as with whiteboarding, all participants see the messages of other participants on their screens.
