*Slideshow [[presentations]] – where images are presented to the audience and markup tools and a remote mouse pointer are used to engage the audience while the presenter discusses slide content.
*Live or [[Streaming media|streaming]] video – where full-motion webcam, digital video camera or [[multi-media]] files are pushed to the audience.
*[[VoIP]] – Real-time audio communication through the computer via use of headphones and speakers.
* Web tours – where [[URL]]s, data from forms, cookies, scripts and session data can be pushed to other participants enabling them to be pushed through web-based logons, clicks, etc.  This type of feature works well when demonstrating websites where users themselves can also participate.
* Meeting recording – where presentation activity is recorded on the client side or server side for later viewing and/or distribution.
*[[Whiteboarding]] with annotation (allowing the presenter and/or attendees to highlight or mark items on the slide presentation.  Or, simply make notes on a blank whiteboard.)
*[[Text chat]] – For live question and answer sessions, limited to the people connected to the meeting. Text chat may be public (echoed to all participants) or private (between two participants).
*Polls and surveys (allows the presenter to conduct questions with multiple choice answers directed to the audience)
*[[Screen sharing]]/[[desktop sharing]]/[[application sharing]] (where participants can view anything the presenter currently has shown on their screen.  Some screen sharing applications allow for remote desktop control, allowing participants to manipulate the presenters screen, although this is not widely used.)
