San Francisco, CA—October 8, 2003—Macromedia, Inc.(Nasdaq:
MACR) today announced the immediate availability of Macromedia Breeze Live, which reinvents the user experience of online meetings and takes the pain out of planning and running those meetings.
Breeze Live is available as a standalone
product or as an add-on module for the Macromedia Breeze platform. For more information, visit www.macromedia.com/go/breezelive/.
"Macromedia Breeze Live breaks down the barriers of delivering effective online meetings by offering a simpler and better user experience before, during, and after the live session," said Keith Kitani, vice president of product management, Macromedia. "Online meetings have become a popular way for organizations to reduce the expense of meetings while retaining the interactivity and productivity. Breeze Live eliminates both the technical barriers and learning curve that have previously limited widespread adoption."
Some features include:
Meeting management-Set up meeting rooms and assign persistent rooms for recurring meetings.
The ability to join a meeting by clicking a single Web link without
additional downloads for those who have the Flash player installed;
Meeting Room Layouts - Presenters can choose a predefined layout to match the meeting content or interaction, or create a custom layout.
Support for multiple presenters with private chat functions
Report generation
The ability to record, archive and reuse live sessions.
For users hosting the meeting, Breeze Live enables content such as PowerPoint presentations to be set-up in advance, preloading both content and the presentation layout. Meeting content, such as sharing spreadsheets or giving product demonstrations, can also be delivered live and changed in real-time during a meeting without having to interrupt the flow of the presentations. The ability to deliver recorded presentations and use persistent meeting rooms that retain the state in which they were left make Breeze Live suitable for recurring meetings or presenting the same content to multiple groups.
