Interactive teleconferencing made possible through the AT&T web conference call solution

AT&T has added an interactive web conferencing feature to
their service offerings. It is called the
AT&T Web Meeting Service. AT&T is just one of many
companies offering web conferencing services, but the AT&T
web conference call solution has some unique aspects that
you might want to consider.
For starters, AT&T's online meeting service provides web
conferencing abilities to facilitate large meetings of up to
200 people per meeting. This ability to facilitate such
large web conferences sets it apart from other similar
companies. Another positive feature is that AT&T does not
charge a set-up fee for the service, and does not charge a
fixed monthly fee like so many web meeting services. With
AT&T's service, you only pay 23¢ per minute, and only for
the exact number of minutes used. Their service can be used
and accessed anywhere in the world instantly.
Some of the specific functional features available with
the service worth noting are:
- Desktop Sharing and File Transfer -- Conference
participants can share any application that resides on
their PC or upload and download files through the file
transfer service.
- Whiteboard -- The whiteboard acts as a public
message board, allowing participants to record meeting
notes and draw diagrams that can be viewed simultaneously
by all or selected participants.
- Chat features -- Participants can send text
messages to all conference participants or privately to a
single individual.
- Polling -- Gives hosts the ability to conduct
online surveys.
- Application Share Control -- Control of the
presentation can be shared by the participants allowing
for a more interactive experience.
- Desktop Share Control -- Participants can elect
to allow support personnel access to their desktop to
facilitate troubleshooting and problem resolution.
- Record and Playback -- This feature is
available to either host or participants, and both the web
and audio portion can be played back at any time.
- Video Display -- Provides the ability to
display live images during the meeting.
There are no special hardware or software requirements.
The only things needed to instantly access AT&T's web
conferencing features are web access and a standard browser.
The service works freely across firewalls. In addition, free
training is available along with technical assistance 24
hours a day.
The benefits of utilizing online teleconference
technology are becoming more apparent each day. Such a
simple concept can make for big changes in the bottom line.
Reduced costs, reduced travel stress and hassle, and faster
decision making are all realized as a direct result of
conferencing technology we have access to today through the
web.
