CCCConfer is an e-conferencing service that allows its clients to see, hear, Instant Message, present and share information in a collaborative manner. Two or more people can conduct a meeting over the Internet using e-conferencing technologies to view a shared document, stream audio and/or video, use VoIP, or use a Web-based chat technology. A Presenter can present content over the Internet using a form of slide show presentation, Web-based chat and streaming audio and/or video. Attendees view the presentation by logging into the Web conference, and communicate with the moderator either through their phones or through e-based chat.

The Presenter can interact with participants, view attendee lists and manage the communication during the event. This e-conferencing format offers real-time viewing and/or modification of shared documents and files through the Internet. No special software is required for any number of users to view a shared document. Collaboration answers the need for teams in disparate locations to be able to work together simultaneously on a shared document.
