During a conference people can talk using their microphone, see other people using their webcams, share files, show\u00a0desktop applications, play music, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other popular conferencing applications TeamTalk comes with its own standalone server. This means you do not depend on a third party to host your conferences. In other words you&#8217;re in complete control of your community and can choose who can participate.<\/p>\n<p>Being accessible to visually impaired is an important feature of the TeamTalk conferencing system.\u00a0 TeamTalk therefore comes with many features that enable visually impaired users to setup their preferred screen-reader.<\/p>\n<p>The following sections give a brief tour of how the TeamTalk Conferencing System works:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#channels\">TeamTalk Channels<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#audvideo\">Audio and Video Conversations<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#desktop\">Share Desktop Applications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#fileshare\">File Sharing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#serveradmin\">Server Administration<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#github\">TeamTalk Development on GitHub<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><a id=\"channels\"><\/a>1.

Once connected users are presented with a set channels (sometimes referred to as rooms) which a user can enter and from there interact with the other users who are in the same channel.<\/p>\n<p>In Figure 1 four users have entered a channel named \u201cRoom 11B\u201d. While in the same channel users can write text messages in the Chat tab, see video in the Video tab, see shared applications in the Desktops tab and download files in the Files tab.<\/p>\n<h2>2. <a id=\"audvideo\"><\/a>Audio and Video Conversations<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bearware.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/main_videotab.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-336 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/bearware.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/main_videotab-300x195.png\" alt=\"Video conversation with two users (but there can be many more).\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bearware.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/main_videotab-300x195.png 300w, https:\/\/bearware.dk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/main_videotab.png 760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Figure 2.
