The TTF had a conference call on 23 September 2013 to test the MeetingBurner web conferencing solution.
TTF Persons on the call : Dev Anand Teelucksingh, Gordon Chillcott, Glenn McKnight
Some of the notes from the meeting:
- Meetingburner requires Flash to view the room. Presenters and Hosts sharing the screen requires running a Java applet.
- Hosts can make anyone presenters.
- For participants, Meetingburner's shows a left vertical bar showing Hosts, Audio options, and a list of participants. The list of participants is in a 2 tab window with a chat in the 2nd tab.
- The rest of the screen shows the presenter's screen.
- The presenter can share entire desktop or window. The applet shows a thumbnail of what is being shown to participants.
- There is no speaker's queue. There is a "Ask a Question" button at the upper left near to the meetingburner logo. This opens a small window for participants to send a message to the host (not the presenter)
- group chat works.
- No polling feature, although the paid version offers Meeting Analytics to get the "temperature of the room" http://www.meetingburner.com/index?page=features
- No way to see an agenda unless the presenter prepared a PDF or browser tab of the agenda on his/her desktop.
- Video was played but no sound was heard by participants and was seen by participants as choppy.
- Paid version supports recording
