Control of the session can be passed among users so that any attendee can act as the main presenter. The most effective Web conferencing solutions require high-speed Internet connections at all user sites.
Several vendors offer Web conferencing services for a nominal monthly fee. System requirements are modest. Most personal computers have sufficient resources to use Web conferencing through their existing browsers.
