Be There Meeting's "smart-client" technology puts the intelligence of running a Web meeting on the client side and uses a standard Web server to route meeting events. During a Web meeting, Be There Meeting's smart-client software convert meeting events, audio, presentation slides, and desktop sharing data to dynamic Flash®-based Web pages that can be displayed by most Web browsers. Only meeting hosts or presenters need to install Be There Meeting's software. Meeting attendees simply use a Web browser to attend a meeting. Be There Meetings uses standard HTTP and FTP ports and protocols to transmit data and should work with most firewalls.

Be There Meeting's solution is not P2P, which is not scalable and often does not work behind firewalls. By leveraging existing Web servers and Web hosting infrastructures, Be There Meeting's solution can be deployed anywhere and at very low cost.
