Users can be formed into queues in their own 'channels' and listen to a master 'channel.'



For example, a company that has more than 5,000 employees can host a company wide meeting via a web conference. Groups within the corporation may be assigned to their own channel and 'speakers' will be broadcast to all channels.

This would allow groups to discuss what is heard and viewed, but doesn't involve the renting of a space or the gathering together of so many employees. Business operations also need not be suspended for employees to attend such a meeting as many times they simply generate information and do not require direct response to the information offered.

Also, in the instances where there were people who were unable to attend or want to review what was said at a later time, the meeting can be logged and replayed in exact detail to allow absent employees to be caught up. Web conferences have the convenience of communication without the limitations imposed by geography, number of attendees or even absences, which might diminish the message being sent out.

Meetings such as a company wide one would require some planning including the emailing of invitations to all participants, setting up the audio conferencing, streaming videos and any other media, like slideshows. This advance preparation is no different than what would be required to host a meeting on grand scale where the audience must be gathered into one location rather than just present in their own offices.

Conferences that have fewer people can be started at any time, whether just by opening a channel and inviting the available into it or meeting at a standard time. Some companies even employ an open channel conference between members of the same group.

This allows cooperative response to dilemmas. In the instance of a problem, the entire group can be alerted at once in order to take action or offer advice. This availability is much like the usage of instant messaging between co-workers or others whether on-site or off.

Web conferences ensure time and cost effective methods for corporate communication without hassle.
