Because MeetingWeb stores your meeting preferences on the server, you can switch browsers and computers with out losing track of where you are.
The best browser for your situation may be a tradeoff between computer and operating system performance, network bandwidth and speed, browser feature set and relative browser perfromance.
How your browser performs
A great browser on one computer and network may be a "slug" on another.
You may want to use memory and hard-disk hogging browser on the high-speed computer and network at work or school and switch to an older, compact, slim-featured version for dialing in from home or the road.
Your internet access provider's capacity, the state of the Internet backbone, the time of day, the speed of your local area network or modem, the speed of your computer and operating system, and the efficiency of your browser all contribute to the performance of MeetingWeb.
Browser-dependent MeetingWeb features
These include the ability to upload existing files to the meeting,
automatic updating of new comments during a meeting session,
the appearance of text and graphics, and word processing features,
such as the automatic wrapping of text to the next line when you post comments.
