Frequently Asked Questions about Online Meeting

    What is an online meeting?

    Online meetings, known interchangeably as web conferences, allow you to not only speak to multiple meeting participants but also share important visuals. Online meeting solutions allow you to share everything on your computer screen, including your web browser and presentations made on Microsoft PowerPoint. Many also enable you to use a virtual whiteboard, share files, collaborate on documents, and even watch video.
