Ever find yourself in a meeting where you don't really need to be there? This is no reflection on the people who have called the meeting, but it could be a meeting that has some aspect of the agenda that you really do not need to be present for. This happens to anyone who is involved in business, with the many departments and projects that are taking place at any one time. This variance means that, inevitably, at some point you will find yourself effectively redundant to the agenda. This means that your time is being wasted.
Imagine being able to cut out this time wasting. Imagine being able to ensure that any time the meeting becomes irrelevant to you, you can drop out for a few minutes without this being awkward, and check your email or make a call. Then when the meeting becomes relevant to you again, you drop right back in and get involved.
This is exactly what web conferencing is like. On the web, a conference call involves a web cam and/or a web connection with microphone. If at any point the meeting becomes something that is nothing to do with you, you can simply log out and get on with the important stuff. When it comes back to you, or it is your turn to contribute, for example, log back on after an alert, and get down to business.
