Chat with Participants

Chat is available across all areas of an Online Meeting conference, and an unlimited number of participants can text chat with each other across all features — including throughout a video conference. Chats includes real-time image previews, link previews, the ability to add and upload files, and much more.

Audio & Video Conferencing

Built on the latest WebRTC framework and offering dynamic scaling for the most efficient bandwidth usage and highest audio and video quality, an Online Meeting audio/video conference can accommodate up to 9 on screen participants when using the included STUN/TURN server or up to 16 when using an external STUN/TURN, and unlimited participants in a meeting’s text chat. Each on-screen user has full control over their own audio and video stream, and participants can be pinned so their screens are more prominent to others.

Take Control

Meeting organizers have total control over any Online Meeting they create: they can allow or restrict guest access, set permissions for who can upload files to the meeting, allow guests to start the meeting, set the defaults for video and audio quality, password protect meetings, and much more. Online Meetings can even be created as part of meetings or events created in a webmail calendar OR can be used as the default meeting provider in eM Client!

SmarterMail online meeting screen sharing feature allowing users to share browser tabs or full desktop views

Screen Sharing

Users and organizers can share their entire screens, share specific applications, or even share individual browser tabs. From training sessions to document collaboration, Screen Sharing expands Online Meetings, allowing groups to be even more connected and productive, and enhances a team’s ability to communicate and work together.

File Sharing

File sharing in Online Meetings works just like it does in SmarterMail’s chat: uploaded files show preview images (where supported), and can be downloaded by meeting participants. Shared files are stored in SmarterMail’s integrated File Storage area, making it easy to retrieve and download files as needed, even long after the meeting has ended.
