Chat features, VoIP and integrated voice conferencing makes for more interactive presentations

December 8, 2005

A truly engaging presentation is one that involves more than a one-way transmission of information. Both you and your audience benefit much more from interactive presentations. Even when using web conferencing technologies, you can enjoy a level of interaction from you audience -- question and answer sessions, polling, and the inclusion of integrated audio conferencing.

Interactive web conferencing is becoming a truly effective way to hold an online meeting. With the software becoming more sophisticated and the features more finely tuned, you'll find that interaction is much easier. The refinement of Voice over IP technology, for instance, now allows you to integrate VoIP audio conferencing into your web presentation to allow for even more interactivity. Voxwire and TTC Global Talk are two companies that provide this type of VoIP service integration and include a very effective text chat functionality as well.

GoToMeeting does it a little different, but still brings text chat and free voice conferencing (using teleconferencing, not VoIP) to your web meetings in an effort to improve the interactive experience. Working online doesn't have to be something remote and solitary. An online presentation can still be a dynamic one, and integrated voice conferencing and chat tools allow for questions and answers, as well as more in-depth discussions about what's being presented.

The trend toward VoIP audio conferencing

VoIP is quickly becoming a popular and reliable option when it comes to audio conferencing via the web. The integration of this technology into your web conferencing solution makes it convenient to use -- you don't have to set up a separate voice conferencing service and your entire presentation is done via your computer. Imagine how much more effective and interactive your next online presentation would be with text chat, VoIP and integrated voice conferencing available.
