Web Meeting Platforms

iCohere can be used for a broad range of events – from simple online chats to webinars and team meetings. Anyone in your community can schedule and run meetings.

Every iCohere site comes equipped with a Flash®-based 200-seat unlimited use meeting room, including streaming audio (VoIP), streaming webcam video, application/desktop sharing, Closed Captioning, meeting recording and 3000 minutes (50 hours) of meeting recording archive per month!

• Your experts can give dynamic live webinars.
• Instructors can provide real-time training.
• Members can gather and collaborate.
• Hundreds to thousands can view live streaming webcasts.

Webinars and webcasts have become a staple of online communications, providing a solid platform for learning, discussion and meetings. For associations and nonprofits, webinars can be a significant source of non-dues revenues. Web conferencing is the smart approach for any organization, especially in times of tight budgets and tight schedules.

Until now, webinars have been one-off events. iCohere's integrated model allows members to participate in webinars and meetings while staying fully connected within their online community.

iCohere includes two web conferencing platforms:

• Our Presentation Theater includes a basic PowerPoint sharing tool, which is always available for your free, unlimited use. This platform is a great choice for a large-audience presentations that do not require streaming content.
• Our new iCohere Collaboration Meeting Room includes audio and video streaming, application sharing, recording with hosted streaming archives, and other high-end features. No additional proprietary downloads or applications are required.
  
  A 200-seat meeting room is included with every iCohere site. Additional seats and rooms can be added for a nominal cost.

Integrated Options

You can integrate your webinars and meetings with the tools and features of your iCohere community for:

• Topic-based chat rooms that exist before, during and after the webinar.
• Document libraries with related materials, videos and photo albums.
• An attendee directory including professional profiles for community members.
• Blogs from webinar presenters (and from participants, too)
• Polls, certification tests, and story collection web forms with all the results stored right inside your community site.
• Archives from previous and related webinars and virtual events.

You can manage your webinars on your own, leverage our production team to manage them for you, or mix and match depending on staff workloads.
