Abstract

Web conference performance monitoring systems enable presenters to monitor their audience's content receiving experience and modify their content's transmission characteristics to resolve technical difficulties. A system for monitoring a Web conference's performance includes a local processor; memory operably connected to the local processor; a monitor operably connected to the local processor; content loaded into memory and operable by the local processor; and an audience screen preview program loaded into the memory and operable by the local processor, wherein the audience screen preview program instructs the local processor to measure network throughput of a network connection between the local processor and a remote processor and display at least a portion of the content on the monitor operably connected to the local processor by simulating the content being transmitted to the monitor operably connected to the local processor over the network connection.
