Sometimes, you just need it to be visual. Which, coincidentally is why web conferencing is such a fantastic idea in the first place! So, thank goodness that everyone’s favorite demo master, Larry B. turned out this handy little number on who can do what in a meeting!  Thanks, homie.

We did a more in depth presentation earlier if you’re just starved for more info on attendee controls. I mean, who isn’t…really?

Check it out! Per your requests, we’ve decoded all those funny little icons, trying our best to make your meeting experience as easy as possible. Actually, we went one step further and created am entire tour of the Web Attendees Box. Check out our very thorough presentation. You are able to view it in full screen mode by clicking on the menu option in the bottom left.

Anything else you need help understanding? Let us know in the comments! We’d love to make sure we’re helping you as much as we can.
