Web Conferencing Service

New web conferencing service


Hero has launched a new HTML5/WebRTC browser based web conferencing service today and we think it is an awesome addition to our feature-set, particular The web conferencing product is completely browser based so no separate software is required and because it is HTML5 based and doesn't use Flash or Java etc. it will run on just about any *modern* browser and platform including Apple iPhones and iPads, Android, Mac and PC.
The web conferencing product comes with some impressive collaboration features including:
  • High Definition Audio
  • Video support via Webcam/Camera
  • Multi-user whiteboard
  • Presentation window supporting Office Format Docs such as Powerpoint and PDFs
  • Screen sharing capability
  • Public and Private Chat
  • Breakout rooms for group collaboration
  • Emoji support and Polling
  • Recording Options
Customers will all have access to a free conferencing room on their account so long as there is at least one cloud line on the account. You can create more conference rooms by simply adding more cloud lines to the account and by assigning a real number to the room you can have a direct dial into the number to access the conference room.
Coming soon we will be offering cloud based recording options and unlimited participants.
We are keen to get your feedback on this new service so email support@hero.co.nz with any suggestions!
