The Meeting Platform

For the AFRINIC-34 Online meeting, we have again used the Meetecho platform. Further enhancements were requested for the AFRINIC-34 Online meeting to enhance delegates’ user experience. Meetecho is an online platform that is entirely web-based and does not require software installation.

The platform was accessible from anywhere in the world without restrictions. The platform also offers the integration of a timer, one to one chats, a list of participants visible to all the attendees, speakers ’ slides uploaded on the platform, announcements feature, polling, technical and live streaming support. These features were crucial in determining and choosing the Meetecho platform.

 

General Improvements from AIS’21

We were pleased to introduce interpretation services for an additional language, namely Arabic for AFRINIC-34 Online.

General improvements were also noted on the audio steaming and translation channels where delegates and speakers joined and listened seamlessly and no major technical issues were recorded.

 

Thank you for your time and interest in AFRINIC-34 Online.
