Since all content is easily accessed, moderators can simply jump to any presentation immediately without changing rooms. Ad hoc surveys bring up a survey at any time during the conference. You can view survey results at any time as well as a list of favorite URL s for Web Tours. With the Group Chat function, small groups can break off into a private chat room to continue a discussion. When finished, they can rejoin the main chat room, or join another private chat area.
Users can participate in multiple groups at once, whether the main chat room or private chat areas.
The Astound Conference Center offers a fast way to start a meeting immediately, for those quick ad hoc meetings that don t require any special features. The reality is that business rarely operates that way and business people need the flexibility to modify the conference schedule and content right up to the last second, including switching the presentation you are going to present, or changing the password to access the room. The Edit Schedule function allows this. When a moderator selects Application Sharing from the presentation menu, it will be installed automatically if it is not already on the current system. This will be installed if the account has permission to use Application Sharing, and will install a Plug-in or ActiveX control depending on the browser being used.
