Dimdim Features and Benefits

If you can view a webpage, you can Dimdim. Dimdim never makes you or your guests install software to have a meeting - all that is required is a web browser. Share your documents, webcams, web pages, whiteboards, pass control to multiple presenters - even record your meetings with Dimdim Pro - all without installing any software. And up to 1000 people can meet with Dimdim Webinar. No one else does this but Dimdim.

If you choose to share your screen our new myScreen plug-in lets you do so in one click. Click our new tray or menubar icon to instantly share your screen. Tell your guests your short, Smart URL and they will see your screen in seconds right in their web browsers. Advanced users can even switch from sharing their desktop to a full Dimdim meeting room just by following the same Smart URL.

Present your documents using the built in laser pointer, annotation and zoom tools. Start scrolling through any web page and as you scroll the webpage on your computer, your guests will see what you see and their view will scroll with you. Visit a YouTube page and the video you discover will start playing on everyone’s computer - all in sync.

Dimdim Pro comes with high quality microphone and webcam sharing so you can share your voice and video - even assign an additional webcam to any participant and show yourself in higher resolution video. In addition every account comes with free audio conferencing and unlimited public and private text chat.

Whenever you schedule a Dimdim Pro event we automatically create a widget you can embed on any website to let anyone instantly register for your event. The widget also tracks meeting registrations and can also share your meeting transcripts and recordings. The widget even sends your registrants email confirmations and notifies them when your meeting starts.

Premium Users: All it takes is one click to record your meetings - we do all the magic in the cloud. (that means you don’t have to install any software to record your events - an industry first!) At the end of the meeting we send you an email link you can share with others who could not attend. We also provide you with a video embed code to paste the recording on your blog or website.

With one click, you start sharing a collaborative, multi-page whiteboard. Allow any participant to join in - editing anyone’s content - or lock them all out so only you can drive the whiteboarding session. Use laser pointers and zoom tools to get a clear picture - even use a Wacom tablet to replace those non-productive physical sessions with a Dimdim virtual whiteboard experience.

Every user gets their own permanent, short Smart URL. Simply paste the URL into Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn - even use it as your email signature. People join your event instantly just by clicking your link. If no meeting is running, the Smart URL points your new profile page where they can register for future public events or wait for your meeting to start.

Sign into Dimdim and easily integrate with dozens of web services such as Flickr, PollDaddy, YouTube, EtherPad, UStream.tv, and more right in your meeting. If you need a feature Dimdim doesn’t have (hard to find one, we know) you can mashup Dimdim with many of your favorite services to fill any gap using our open API. And after all, Dimdim lives in the browser.
