How does it all work?
With no software to install and running through a standard web browser, e-collaboration and web
conferencing with Umeeting is as easy as clicking a link in an email or entering the meeting
access code to join a meeting.
Web meetings or online events are scheduled from your Umeeting Web Office, allowing you to set a
moderation style for the meeting, assign moderator(s) and invite participants via automated
email invitations.
During web meetings, participants use Umeeting's great collaboration features to stage multimedia
rich events and sessions, sharing documents or even their entire desktop
