KEY NEW FEATURES AND ENHANCEMENTS OF WEBDEMO EXPRESS AND ALL WEBDEMO 3.0 VERSIONS:-

-
Improved Keyboard Chat:This feature has been integrated into both the host and participant's command module. Upgrades include modifications to the keyboard chat, so the host or attendee can now have private chat rooms.
-
Enhanced Viewport:This allows users to click and drag the viewport anywhere on their desktop. In the pause mode users can setup other applications without audiences seeing what they are doing. Also, the attendee now has the ability to resize the viewport on their screen.
-
Participant Transparency Tools:Participants can launch the transparency tools to share in the collaboration process. Also the transparency tools bar has more drawing options such font, line thickness, square, circle, cut/move or color selector.
-
WebDemo Reports Page:The reports page allows administrators to generate daily, weekly, monthly, or specific range reports on the number of current active users, number of current active sessions and the number of total sessions for range.
-
True Color Representation:Between 256 colors and High Color (16-bit to 24-bit) are available for added enhancement to the viewport. This is ideal for advertising and marketing professionals who place a premium on the creative component of their presentations.

ADDITIONAL KEY FEATURES OF WEBDEMO PROFESSIONAL-
Record and Playback:This feature records a meeting session and saves it for playback at a later time, allowing the presenter to determine what is to be recorded, such as the viewport, voice, or the keyboard chat. The recorded sessions are thereafter available for meeting attendees to playback whenever they wish to view the recorded sessions.
-
Updated Co-Browse Functionality: This feature has been greatly stabilized, enabling users to "co-browse" with WebDemo participants so presenters can direct attendees to specific live Web pages for training or support.
-
File Broadcast:Allows the presenter of a WebDemo session to broadcast files to any or all attendees. As a result, files of any type can be distributed quickly to all meeting participants.
-
VOIP:This allows an audio choice of microphone, wave file or line-in. The wave file or real media player now can be broadcasted to audiences and broadcast sound can come from PowerPoint presentations.
-
Broadcast Video:Significant enhancements and updates have been incorporated into this feature including: selectable frame size (176x144 and 352x288), selectable frame rate (from 0.2 to 30 fps), selectable video quality and AVI input to video conferencing.

The results are tallied dynamically and can be displayed on an aggregate level to all participants. Users can also save the polling questions they create for later use.
-
Document Manager:All WebDemo registered and unregistered users can now place and view public documents by selecting public area off the menu in the left column.
-
Record and Playback Client:This new feature allows you to record and playback offline and to send the file via email to anyone to view at their leisure without going to your server.
Since its introduction, WebDemo has become a popular and highly cost-effective alternative for small-to-medium businesses, with an installed base of over 2,400 enterprises worldwide. Unlike hosted services, WebDemo users own the software; therefore they are free of unpredictable per-minute, per-participant, per-seat, monthly costs traditionally associated with Web Hosting conferencing services. Additionally, users have the freedom to use the software for a variety of needs - training, sales presentations, etc.
