WebEx Audio Broadcast provides a low-cost alternative to telephony-based audio conferences. Audio
Broadcast is an ideal solution for environments where there are a low number of active speakers and a
very large number of listeners who wish to participate in a principally listen-only mode.
Based on the Multi-Media Platform (MMP), Audio Broadcast is seamlessly interwoven into the WebEx
meeting experience with hosts able to monitor the number of active Audio Broadcast attendees in real
time. The Audio Broadcast client starts automatically for attendees, and hosts are able to promote
individual attendees to full speaking privileges at any time during the meeting. Attendee promotion is
provided by presenting PSTN dial-in information to promoted attendees. The promoted attendees then
become full speaking participants.
