Conferencing is one of the premium services you want to offer to your users and your customers. In these times where we're between cost cuts and time constraints, the ability to have a virtual meeting is a real bonus.
So more so if you can manage the meeting, give the "talk" floor in an ordered manner to each presenter, mute and unmute each and every of the participants, etc.
And when you add to the mix the video stream from each participant webcam, the possibility to share a presentation screen, to play videos, to record the session, and to have different persons "on stage" at the same time... That's not only cheaper and faster than walking in a physical room to join a meeting, is also more productive!
We have also developed a WebRTC client that fully leverage our contemporary VERTO protocol to offer a beautiful, productive, immersive and engaging conference experience to participants and moderators!
FreeSWITCH gives you all the building blocks, and thanks to WebRTC support, your conferences' participants, moderators and presenters only need a standard browser on their computer, tablet or smartphone.
