3CX WebMeeting 8 Web Conferencing Solution Available Now in Australia and Oceania

The beta version of our new 3CX WebMeeting 8 is now available for customers in Australia and New Zealand!

3CX WebMeeting 8 adds new features that make it a great platform for web and video conferencing based on WebRTC technology.

The following new features are implemented:

The ability to record a web conference and download it in mp4 format.
Remote control of computers on the Windows platform (installation of the Google Chrome extension is required).
Significantly improved video quality and optimized Internet channel.
There was an opportunity to conduct surveys of participants.
The ability to transfer control of the web conference to another participant.
The possibility of anonymous participation in the conference.
Choosing a web conference venue - you choose the MCU closest to you for the best video quality.

Web Conference Venue (MCU)

The server we launched supports the MCU video mixer located in Melbourne, Australia. This arrangement greatly improves video quality for users from Australia and New Zealand. If you plan to use 3CX WebMeeting in the EU or the USA, select the location of the web conference (Create Meeting> Options) in the EU or the USA, respectively. You can also set the default web conferencing location in the system administration interface. If you leave the default location in Melbourne, video quality in users in the European Union and the United States may be degraded. Servers in the EU and the US will be migrated to Webmeeting v8 in the next few weeks.

Web conferencing is now possible without the 3CX Phone System

The good news is that 3CX WebMeeting is now available offline from the 3CX Phone System.

Three versions are offered:

3CX WebMeeting is a standalone version. Meetings are organized through a web portal.
3CX WebMeeting for 3CX Phone System - A version integrated with 3CX Phone System. Meetings are organized from 3CXPhone.
3CX WebMeeting Server - The local version of 3CX WebMeeting.
