Virtual Meeting or role-based conference is a video conferencing mode involving more than two users while some of them are acting as speakers and others as audience.
All conference participants can see and hear the speakers. The audience is not visible to anyone but any user can become a speaker.
The audience may use general and personal chats, status bar and audio replies for feedback.
