CHAPTER 11
About Seminars
A Macromedia Breeze seminar is a special kind of Macromedia Breeze Meeting. Like a Breeze
meeting, it’s conducted online in real-time and provides a virtual room in which a presenter can
show slides or multimedia presentations, share screens, chat, and broadcast live audio and video.
Like a Breeze meeting, a Breeze seminar takes place in a meeting room , a Macromedia Flash
application that you run in a browser window by using Macromedia Flash Player. As with
meetings, you create a seminar in Breeze Manager.
Seminars differ from meetings in keys ways. A meeting normally has 10 people or fewer and can
be recurring. A seminar might have different limits for the number of users or the number of
meetings that happen at the same time. (A user can click the information link to see what those
limits are.) The default seminar room looks different than the default meeting room. Also,
seminars can only be created in a shared area, while meetings can either be created in a shared area
or a user folder.
You could consider holding a seminar in the following situations:
•
You are hosting at least 50 participants.
•
The seminar is a one-time or infrequent event.
•
The meeting is noncollaborative, with very little audience participation or interaction.
Because of these differences, seminars have different templates than meetings, and a different
licensing and pricing structure. These differences are also reflected in the structure of the Seminar
library; for details, see
Chapter 13, “Managing the Seminar Library,” on page 181 .
About licensing for meetings and seminars
Although a seminar is similar to a meeting, the seminar feature is purchased separately. After
purchasing the feature, a new Seminar tab is displayed in Breeze. If you have purchased both the
Meetings application and the Seminars application, you cannot create a meeting from the
Seminar Rooms tab or a seminar from Meetings tab. The pricing and licensing models for
seminars and meetings are different.
