The simple one-click video conference! It works in a web browser running the Flash 7 plugin!

FlashMeeting is easy to use:

Click the large 'broadcast' button to begin broadcasting both your image and sound to everyone else in the meeting - when you've finished click the button again to stop. Simple!

Only one person speaks at a time like in a real meeting - eliminating any overlaps or confusion. If you have something important to say - then everyone in the meeting will hear you!

If you click the 'broadcast' button when another person is already broadcasting you will join the 'queue'. If you are first in the queue when the broadcaster finishes, you automatically begin broadcasting!

FlashMeeting features:

Video and Audio broadcast over a network or internet. No download or installation - it works in a web browser with Flash 7 'plugin'. Easy to use - click the Broadcast button to start - click again to stop! Indicate your intention to speak with a simple queuing system. Text chat - talk to others while watching the broadcast. Share a URL - open a web page on all remote machines. Vote and 'Emoticon' options - share your opinions and feelings! Countdown timer shows time remaining. View participants either as a list of images or names. Simple booking procedure to manage your meetings. Secure and private meetings. Low-data friendly (one stream at a time). Record the meeting for easy web replay - visit FlashMeeting Memo.

The FlashMeeting server seamlessly 'links' clients with different connection
types and also provides a recording available for immediate web replay.

Typically what does the process prior to joining a meeting involve?:

A 'registered' user of FlashMeeting books a meeting by using the 'Book' web link above. They receive an email confirming the booking details which includes the URL with the unique password and room name (also called a 'ticket'). They in turn distribute this to whom ever they wish to join the meeting. When the time for the meeting arrives, the participants simply use the 'ticket' URL to open a web page containing the FlashMeeting.

A note for people joining a FlashMeeting:

If you have been invited to join a FlashMeeting, you have to enter it using the special URL provided to you by the person who booked the meeting. This contains both the required room name and password to allow entry to that specific meeting, just copy and paste it into your web browser. For security reasons we do not make the URL's for a FlashMeeting public. No FlashMeeting can ever be accessed from a link on this main FlashMeeting web site (except the special 'demo' room).

Can I buy this?:

Not at the moment... FlashMeeting, on our server, is part of our academic research at KMi. If you are interested and feel that we would both benefit from your group's participation in the project, please contact support@flashmeeting.com to obtain information about how to register. An ideal user group would probably be a 'community' from the educational or business 'world' that work apart but would benefit from regular contact using FlashMeeting. Be aware that we may view any recordings made and use them as part of our research into such technologies (i.e. data may get published in papers etc.).
