Live Presentations and PowerPoint Slide Shows
Present PowerPoint slide shows to anyone, anywhere.
You've worked hard on your presentation, you've reviewed it with colleagues and it's first class. At BlueTrain, we realize the effort and craftsmanship you've expended, that's why we've also expended tremendous effort to ensure the live presentation (to anyone, anywhere) is professional, focused and flawless.
Loading a PowerPoint slide show is easy, just select your PowerPoint file using our PowerPoint Presentation tool and that's it. There is no need to pre-upload or pre-arrange the presenter, with BlueTrain, dynamic presentations are a standard feature.
After loading the slide show, you can use our navigational tools to move to and from slides, or jump directly to a specific slide. Slides are automatically titled with a heading, based upon their textual content, so it's easy to know which slide to present.
Our slides take only a few seconds to transmit and show, even when audience attendance exceeds hundreds. And our slide confirmation feature informs you when everyone has received the slide so you know when to proceed.
During your presentation, as your optional webcam and VoIP audio is broadcast to the audience, you can also use real time mark-up tools and remote mouse pointer. You can even allow other people, or the entire group, to use the mark-up tools as well.
And for a fantastic blow-them-away presentation, you can push everyone to full screen mode (for absolute focus). Your live webcam image will appear bottom right, and as you talk (using our voice activated VoIP audio), you can use the remote mouse pointer and drop check-marks on your bullets. With BlueTrain, we make a great presentation even better by ensuring your audience is engaged and sees exactly which point you are discussing.
But that's not all. With BlueTrain, you can allow your audience to ask questions verbally or via text chat, respond yes or no or raise their hand, without interrupting the flow. And for the final touch, you can record your online business meeting session for later critique or distribute the standards based (AVI) recording as you see fit.

Internet Business Meetings with VoIP Audio
Nobody comes close to matching our VoIP audio speed, quality or versatility.
Our VoIP is the undisputed best in the business, and our online solution is widely known for being the best VoIP audio web conferencing product available.
Our VoIP audio is as easy as using a telephone, but with many more amenities at your disposal. Plus, an extra telephone line is NOT required, no long distance charges are racked up, no more neck cramps, and you don't need to juggle a telephone to type. Our sound quality is crystal clear; it's as good or better than the telephone, and there's no additional cost for our best of the best VoIP audio--it's all included.
WebTrain's VoIP audio is the FASTEST available, less than 200 ms latency in North America and 300 ms world wide. Due to our advanced duplex stream mixing optimization techniques, our VoIP audio never lags or gets choppy, even when transferring files, receiving live webcam content or PowerPoint slides. Our audio works very well on dialup connections, and since our technology provides mixing, you can hear participants talk over each other, even when the PC is playing music or a video.
Any or all online business meeting participants can be issued a voice activated talk button, enabling them to broadcast their speech to everyone in the online business meeting, at any time, without queuing, and without having to hold down a key or button. We also have a single room microphone which is activated when passed, similar in concept to passing a physical microphone.
BlueTrain also provides private voice chat, enabling a host or cohost to talk to a participant privately, then with one click, resume talking to the group. The feature is also perfect for private side conversations and live language translation. BlueTrain is the only web conferencing provider we know of that provides a private voice chat feature.
Why pay up to 20 cents per minute for teleconferencing when audio can be played on participant speakers? Why waste money on conference calls for internal business meetings when you can use our VoIP audio at no additional cost instead?
Save your money. Start hosting BlueTrain online business meetings with VoIP audio.
Collaborate Live on Business Documents
Effectively communicate ideas, knowledge and experience.
At BlueTrain, we realize that online collaboration is much more than simply bringing people together. After all, you can bring people together by simply calling them on the telephone.
Collaboration is more about working online together, within an interactive environment, with the online tools at hand which enable anyone in the group to effectively communicate their ideas, knowledge and experience.
With BlueTrain, business document collaboration has never been easier. Using WebTrain's screencasting and application sharing you can show and share any application, even DOS applications, on your computer with anyone else in the online business meeting room. These applications can be viewed (and controlled) by the participants in full screen or scaled to fit within the white board viewport.
Use our application sharing and screen casting features to work on contracts, spreadsheets, presentations or multi-media content. Save a huge amount of time DIRECTLY collaborating on the document with others, rather than continuously shuffling e-mail drafts back and forth. Not only is this far more productive, but the end result is that everyone's input is considered and the task is completed and finalized sooner than ever before.
And when the collaboration task has been completed, you can instantly push the final content, regardless of the file size, to any or all participants for final approval using our built in file transfer feature. And by using our instant file transfer feature, you don't need to be concerned about e-mail size restrictions or delivery delays!
Real World Example:
When you first embark on using any web conferencing product, you will run into a few challenges. For example, sharing large sized windows--or the entire desktop--may be a simple click action, but consideration must be given to audience members with smaller screens. For example, if a presenter is sharing a 1600x1280 desktop, it won't fit on a 800x600 screen. Rather than force everyone to use a screen-size that their hardware might not support, our solution provides an easy to use scale-reduction button. Participants just click on the scaling reduction button and the content is instantly high-resolution scaled and rendered to fit in their available viewing area.
The above is just one example of real world challenges that you will encounter, regardless of what product you choose to use. However, you will find that our Internet business meetings solution addresses all of these challenges quickly, easily, and productively. After all, we have experience hosting millions of meetings. As a result, our product, services, and features are real world useful and mature, and you can be confident that our product will deliver.

Watch, Show, Listen, Talk and Interact Online
Engage your audience without restricting interactivity.
The BlueTrain online meetings environment is designed in a manner that enables people to interact but not interrupt the flow of the presentation.
When presenting, our tool visually and audibly informs you when a participant raises their hand or enters text chat. The meeting room itself is configurable, allowing for less or more interactivity. For example, the host or cohost can choose whether or not to allow participants to perform specific actions, even restrict a specific participant to "view only" mode.
This depth of control enables you to use the same tool sets differently for different types of business meetings. For example, a formal presentation could be less interactive, whereas an internal meeting could be a complete free-for-all.
With simultaneous, real-time live web cams, VoIP audio, remote mouse pointer (moves smoothly and reflects the current cursor), text chatting, hand raising, mark-up tools and more, your Internet participants will feel engaged with a sense of contribution and belonging.
BlueTrain has worked hard to create an online environment that is not only productive, but easy to use and versatile as well. We've performed usability studies, analyzed how to improve our product and have actively invited our clients to provide suggestions and feedback. The end result is an adaptable, effective and easy to use product you will enjoy using.
