Brio is built on Adobe’s Flash platform, and operates inside a web browser.

It allows you to:

  • Host unlimited online meetings with up to 3 meeting participants.
  • Interact through screen sharing, chat and whiteboards.
  • Access a meeting via a personalized URL.
  • Distribute documents and files to meeting participants.
  • Use integrated VoIP, teleconferencing and multi-point video.

We found that access to the meeting was quick and the screen sharing worked well but we had some difficulties with the sound.  It’s worth a try even though the numbers who can participate are limited to 3.
