BigMarker Advances the First Full-Featured No-Download Web Conferencing Platform, Scaling to 100 Attendees With 9-Way Video Conferencing


(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwired) -- 09/17/14 -- BigMarker (www.bigmarker.com), the platform for learning and sharing through web conferences, announced today that its users can now host free web conferences with up to 100 participants -- including up to 9 sharing webcams at a time -- with no downloads or plugins required. This major update is a follow-on to the introduction of the world's first full-featured WebRTC conferencing platform, which the company released in a limited Beta last month.



This update brings new features, including recording and playback of screen sharing and videos shared in webinars and video conferences, as well as uploading of recorded content to YouTube. But the greatest improvements come in the form of scale, as the ability to host interactive webinars and online events of this size, without downloading software, is uncharted territory for the industry.

"We could not be more excited to be developing the latest technology for teaching, learning, and sharing with others in real-time," said Zhu-Song Mei, BigMarker's Founder and CEO. "We've made steady progress, and we're happy to be the first company to offer interactive web conferencing at this scale in a browser, without Flash or some other installation requirement. As our team continues to push the limits of what computers can do, we look forward to seeing BigMarker users push the boundaries of connecting more and more like-minded people from around the world." What is BigMarker's take on web conferencing? BigMarker sees the power of people coming together in a live setting to learn from experts, discuss interests, and share knowledge with peers. Its goal is to make sharing and learning online more personal by digitizing what people have been doing at in-person conferences for decades.
