 Recent TurboMeeting Features and Enhancements (Rev 3.3):
  • International language support - A user who has their PC set to any of the five languages below will automatically see the entire TurboMeeting user interface in his native language.
    • English
    • Spanish
    • Japanese
    • Traditional Chinese
    • Simplified Chinese

  • Record with built-in player - Each PC user can record the meeting session on their computer. Audio picked up by the computer microphone is also recorded and synchronized with the screen update. TurboMeeting proprietary recording format yields much greater compression efficiency than standard recording formats. Unlike other competitors using standard recording formats that sometimes can record only part of the meeting presenter screens thus miss some critical information, the TurboMeeting player can view the whole or any part of the meeting presenter screen during playing. TurboMeeting's recorder records only the meeting presenter screen without any insertion of attendees' local screens thus eliminating confusion.

    The single executable record file includes an embedded player. A user just needs to click on the file and the player starts. It does not rely on any third-party players.

  • Macintosh OS 10.5 support - The TurboMeeting client software is now compatible with the newest Macintosh operating system.

  • Hide attendee list - The meeting host can choose to have attendee lists displayed or not on attendees' meeting control panel.

  • Enhanced annotation - Presenter can annotate his screen by pen, spot, arrow or highlight. He can save the annotation as a JPEG file.
