White boarding
Users can start a whiteboard session during a Web conference to share ideas or diagrams. Changes to
the whiteboard and the contributor’s identity automatically display. A whiteboard is a blank page that
allows presenters to draw, add text, and highlight information by using the annotation tools. For
example, organizers can quickly create a flow chart to illustrate a point, insert a whiteboard, and then
use the annotation tools to draw squares, lines, and other figures. The slide can be saved for future
reference. In addition, new enhancements add the ability to cut and paste, use right-click menus, line
attributes (thickness, endings, and so forth), object attributes (colors, fill, size, and so forth), improved
text tools, and the use of flow chart tools.

Web slides
The URL for a Web site can be shared with meeting participants, who can then view the site via a
browser embedded in the console. Web slides let presenters take their audience to any live Web site
on the Internet to give tours and view online information. Each attendee can independently click on
links, fill out forms, or use interactive media. Organizers can quickly and easily add Web slides to
presentations by entering the address of the Web site (URL), such as http://www.microsoft.com/. The
preview feature allows the presenter to see a page before it is shown to the audience.

Desktop and application sharing
This feature allows presenters to broadcast any visuals, applications, Web pages, documents,
software, or part of their desktops to remote participants in real time. Application sharing allows
audience members to follow along with mouse movements and keyboard input. Presenters can
choose to share the entire screen or only a portion to keep the audience focused on key information.
By sharing their desktops, presenters are able to engage with their audiences in interactive product or
software demos from any location.

Application sharing allows presenters to share control of software on their desktops without losing
sight of participant feedback or text questions. Meeting participants can request control, and
presenters can quickly grant it to any participant. Presenters can customize the color depth and screen
resolution to better engage with participants who have varying degrees of desktop capabilities.
