The video web meetings are 'virtual' through Internet with participants working in different physical locations. The actual meeting room is replaced by the desktop of the computer host of the meeting (the person who has organized). Each participant sits at their computer, where you can see everything the presenter is showing on your screen (function 'desktop sharing' or shared desktop).
During the online meeting, the host can assign the role of presenter to any of the other participants. In essence, web conferencing have similar characteristics to the meetings' in person ', because they allow attendees to interact with each other (principle of communication' many to many ').'

Most Web conferences are held according to the following principles: the organizer of the meeting send an email with the invitations, which contain a link to a URL and a user ID to access the meeting. At the time of starting this, each participant enters their user identification (ID) for online meeting. Once logged in, participants can see the desktop of the presenter of the meeting with him and share documents and applications.
During the meeting online, the role of presenter can scroll to any of the participants, and they can see everything that goes to show the new presenter on your desktop.
