What Web Conferencing Has That WebRTC Does Not

Posted by Sabrina George on Fri, Jul 10, 2015 @ 11:15 AM
Right now, WebRTC is receiving a lot of mainstream media attention due in large part to the fact that it’s free and comes with the promise of easy browser-based videoconferencing. But is WebRTC worthy of all of the hype it is receiving? Dig deeper and you’ll notice a very big flaw: It’s unsupported by Microsoft and Apple browsers. This means if you move forward with a WebRTC-based solution, you will not be able to use it to communicate with business partners or customers on Safari or Internet Explorer. A traditional Web conferencing product like Onstream Meetings, however, can be used with any browser regardless of its developer. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about issues stemming from incompatible browsers, like confused end users and missed messages. Further, you won’t have to ask your contacts to switch to a browser with which they are not comfortable. Another great aspect of a solution like Onstream Meetings is that it doesn’t require a software installation on your corporate computers. Since Onstream Meetings operates through the cloud, you simply log in when you want to access the software. This also means you will not have to perform system updates. WebRTC, for that matter, is open source—so it will require your developers to keep a close watch for updates and security patches. Further, through Onstream Meetings, you will gain access to over 100 conferencing features that you can use to enhance your online meetings and ensure great conversations. Click here to learn more about why you should steer clear of WebRTC and invest in a robust conferencing solution like Onstream Meetings.

Making your Corporate Webcast Come Alive

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Aug 08, 2013 @ 01:43 PM

Contrary to popular belief, webcasts aren’t simply videos a business or individual posts online. While this can certainly describe webcasting, it isn’t limited to this definition. For instance, corporate webcasting is the process of creating business presentations that come alive for viewers, allowing customers and businesses to interact together. Live webcasts and on demand webcasts utilize tools, such as PowerPoint, video, Q&A and a variety of other interactive features to engage an audience. Those who cannot attend a live event can view the same broadcast as those who are attending the show will see in person. These webcasts bring viewers to keynote speeches, breakout sessions and other events that are typically live.

Global Employee Meetings- Simplified

Posted by Amit Rathee on Thu, Jun 20, 2013 @ 04:56 PM
Small businesses often make it a tradition to get everyone into one room to hold meetings, giving everyone a chance to offer feedback and insight. Everyone can discuss what they are currently doing and coordinate a plan for the future. This informality works great for smaller start-ups, but isn’t always feasible as businesses bring in more employees.

As businesses continue to grow, they often hold on to this tradition, resulting in a lack of space and time to accommodate everyone. Once your business reaches around 10 to 15 people, this informal format no longer works as effectively. It can be difficult to hold everyone’s interest through the discussion and allowing everyone to talk often takes too much time. If one person goes into too much detail about their current project, some people involved in the meeting won’t get a chance to talk at all.
