Breakthrough - Online presentation and audio chat conference tool for education, training, business - VCOM Central
What is VCOM
VCOM is a breakthrough interactive communication, collaboration and exchange tool/service that allows crystal clear voice communications with minimal delay and with great performance at any connection speed. VCOM offers you the ability to communicate with anyone in the world as long as they have a computer with Internet access. You can speak with one or several people at the same time with crystal clear voice quality.
VCOM also allows basic presentation features and the ability to sync all attendees to see the live Web sites while the presenter navigates them. Last but not least, VCOM allows live text chat integrated with the above features as well as sending of files to all people attending or only to selected ones. Basic moderator features are also available including the ability to "mute" or "ban" people.
In an unannounced upcoming version Application Sharing/Window Sharing may become very interesting additional features that will allow to show any active window on your desktop to people attending your VCOM communication meeting. According to unofficial sources the above feature requires too much bandwidth and would therefore greatly penalize the high flexibility and scalability of the product over all kinds of connection speeds.
According to my very own tests VCOM provides a very high quality audio stream with minimal delay (not significant in standard training or presentation meetings) and a reliable and stable platform. VCOM works perfectly and with the same high degree of audio quality no matter if you are on a 14.4 Kbps, on ADSL at 340 Kbps or on cable, ISDN, T1, fiber. It scales flexibly and perfectly to all. Quality is excellent.
How does it work
VCOM comes as a service you activate and pay for on a monthly basis for unlimited bandwidth and number of communications.
You do not have to download anything.
Once you have fully tried and tested out VCOM with me in person, and you have decided to purchase VCOM you will get a custom URL online where you can access all of your services. This URL allows you or any other person you invite to access your online VCOM Virtual Communications Center. From there you can deliver training classes, demonstrations, meetings, or audio visual presentations with Q&A at the end.
With VCOM you can speak for as long as you want with anywhere and from any corner of the world. All you need is a VCOM account for yourself. The other parties you will be communicating with do not need to buy or pay anything to enter your online Virtual Communications Center to talk online with you.
In a standard VCOM room you can talk and meet with up to 25 people. In reality rooms can scale up to 100 or even 500 or more attendees but there is no official service yet for this. Each request is treated on a custom basis and accordingly priced. If you are interested in a larger VCOM room do not hesitate in formulating a custom request to me.
To enter a VCOM room an automatic download installs a small software everytime you log in without requiring any download or software installation/configuration on your PC.
Key Features

The multi-functions allow manual and automatic adjustments for both microphone and speaker with a graphic indicator to show the quality of your voice transmission. As moderator, you have customizable mute capabilities consistent with your presentation format. At your discretion, selective users can be banned.

It is absolutely proven that results are dynamically increased when your audience can hear you, view the key points, read the details, and then personally interact by voice and text.
File transfers from PC to PC are a "point and click" between selected users or simultaneously to an entire group.
