In the chat, you can leave questions and comments without disturbing the speaker. Stickers and reactions can help you express your feelings about what your colleagues are saying, and stars can help highlight topics you need to draw attention to. The presenter will see what is happening in the chat and will be able to react. In addition, you can send links and files to the general chat that the participants will need.

You can now enable the demonstration on your smartphone – the function has become available in the Android application.

As before, “Teleconference” works without time limits and is suitable even for long performances.
