    Uses of Web
    Conferencing
    Web Meeting - Web meetings are virtual meetings that
    encourage interaction amongst the participants. They
    include collaboration tools like sharing documents, photos
    or videos and chat tools.

    Webcast - It is a type of online conference that is


    comparable to a TV broadcast. In this case, there is little or
    no interaction between the presenter and the conference
    participants.

    Webinars -This is a term used to describe seminars held


    online. In webinars, presenters can have document sharing
    options, while also giving webinar attendees the
    opportunity to comment or ask questions.
    Uses of Web
    Conferencing

    Online Presentations - Slideshows, PowerPoint presentations,


    streaming audio or video and chat functions are used for online
    presentations. However, in order for participants to view these
    presentations they must log in to the online meeting and then
    they are allowed to interact with the presenter too.

    Online Collaboration - If only text messages are exchanged, it


    can mean it's a real-time audio communications conference,
    but it can also be enhanced with real time video meetings.
    Participants can view shared files in order to collaborate on
    modifications that can be done in real-time during the online
    collaboration. For example, this gives remote access to remote
    employees to work efficiently on team projects.
    • Modern online meetings
    require WebRTC (Web Real Time
    Communications) technology.
    This is an open-source
    technology that provides Real-
    Time Communication (RTC)
    Software capabilities for web browsers by
    using simple application
    Needed programming interfaces (APIs).
    This technology is supported by
    all major browsers, including
    Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox.
    Google, Microsoft, Apple and
    Mozilla are among the main
    contributors to the development
    of WebRTC.
