What’s more, this feature allows corporate subscribers to start with a limited number of licenses, and add more as their existing one are becoming fully utilized.
Real-time screen sharing is another key feature of web conferencing software. Online meetings, web conferences and online training sessions can be held live. The desktop screen can be shared with all the attendees, allowing them to collaborate in real time.
