The subject of the meeting can be addressed sooner. Meeting participants no longer have to wait for a fax of the meeting materials to be sent to everyone before the meeting can begin. Conferencing materials can be viewed and changed in real time and then re-distributed to everyone during the meeting. Participation - Data Conferencing enhances communication between participants and reduces misunderstandings. Meeting materials such as documents and slides as well as non-traditional meeting materials such as Windows programs can be shared .
Users can now 'see' what the speaker is discussing.
This higher level of interaction between participants allows new types of conferencing interactions. For example, a conference participant needing help adding an image to a shared document can allow another participant to take control and add the image. Private chat - Chat conversations can take place between individuals or groups of participants during the meeting. These chat sessions can also be stored for later reference. Meeting Notes - Meeting notes can be generated in real time as the meeting progresses.
