Each user in a meeting runs a copy of PictureTalk Communicator, PictureTalk's free client application for PCs or Macs or UNIX workstations or Java devices . PictureTalk Communicator is launched by the user's web browser when the user clicks on the meeting's name. Users in a meeting can take turns presenting.
Users can also communicate through a chat window.
