3. Installation & Operation
Many web conferencing technologies require downloading and installation of software on each participant’s computer, which is invoked as a local application. Many web conferencing vendors provide the central connectivity and provisioning of meeting “ports” or “seats” as a hosted web service. While others allow the web conference host to install and run the software on their own local servers.
