Webinar Software: The New Way To Conduct Meetings

By Ken Morrison


Webinar software is the new way of conducting meetings. No longer is it necessary to travel to attend a meeting or a seminar, it now can be attended on any desktop or laptop. Often there is not much that has to be downloaded.

All that is necessary is for the person in charge to schedule the meeting via the online meeting software. Email invitations will be sent out to those they wish to attend. A link is provided within the email that will take them to the meeting room.

It may take a couple minutes for the site to load on the participant's computers after they enter a password that the email will provide. Online meeting software is usually quite basic and does not require a lot of technical knowledge to participate. They also are basic enough that most do not require any special features on the computer being used.

Once inside the meeting room, webinar software allows the host to conduct a meeting as if everyone was together in the same room. They can also allow anyone else in the room to take control of the meeting to show how a online meeting software works, or to make points on the subject. Attendees can also interact with one another through chats in private if they wish.

This type of web conferencing software allows companies to save time by not having staff leave the office to attend. It can also reduce money spent on traveling and other expenses associated with long distance meetings. It is also easy to attend the meetings even if away on business elsewhere. As long as there is an internet connection, they can be there.

While the technology is not quite as advanced at this stage as was once predicted, webinar software has advanced significantly. It makes it easier to brainstorm and share ideas from all over the world. It has reduced the amount of money spent on traveling to important meetings that are necessary to attend.

  1. In an age when event budgets are being cut and broadband Internet access is rising, webinars are becoming increasingly popular. Webinars are web-based seminars, that usually include over 30 participants and are used to conduct presentations, workshops, lectures and large-scale meetings. Since webinars are held online, they allow companies to save money on travel, catering and venues, all of which are costs commonly associated with face-to-face seminars. However, due to their large attendance, webinars need careful planning in order to be successful. This is why those planning on hosting a webinar need to take their time to ensure that they properly go through all the necessary steps which will ensure the webinar’s success.
    Great post!
