3. What can affect the performance?

Meeting Central provides real-time collaboration and sharing over the Internet, performance depends on both the Internet itself and the Meeting Central service. Meeting Central constantly monitors service and network performance, and continually enhances its infrastructure to keep Meeting Central services highly available and reliable.

Here are some of the main factors:

  • the speed of your computer's connection to the Internet
  • the performance of your Internet service provider
  • overall Internet traffic on your routed connection to the MyMeetingCentral server
  • performance of firewall and proxy servers, if your computer is behind a company firewall

5. What types of files or applications can I share?

You can share virtually any document or application. However, applications with streaming content may not work well, because such content is not streaming directly from the source to attendees. We are currently working to bring this feature.
