About hotComm

hotComm is multimedia desktop software to establish secure and spontaneous collaboration and application sharing among any number of individual users, using secure Peer connections to support interactive chat, voice, web tours and file transfer.

hotComm

hotComm offers:

  • Multimedia. Text, voice, sound, graphics, documents, screenshots, web tours, draw, type.

  • Interactive. Use hotComm to communicate and exchange files.

  • Collaborate. Use hotComm for show-and-tell, for co-editing, for annotation and review.

  • Chat. Communicate by typing, or by voice.

  • Voice over IP. Talk to your peers and callers! Your voice is sent over the Internet.

  • Drag-and-drop files into a session for instant transfer. If the peer has an application associated with the file type, it opens automatically.

  • Embellish your session with sounds and sound files.

  • File Transfers. Get files from other peers. Make selected files available to them. Transfers are secure, and can happen as long as your hotComm is online. You don't need to be in a session with the other peer.

  • Presence. See online / offline presence of your hotComm peers instantly, graphically, easily.

How others interact

Others can interact with you in several ways:

  • As full hotComm peers, running hotComm software, with the ability to host sessions.

  • Through the IM-Live Java client, which is free and requires no download or installation. These clients call in to your hotComm, using your special IM-Live address. See About IM-Live.

  • Through hotComm Lite, a Windows client that has many of the collaboration and communication features of the full hotComm product, without the hosting capabilities. These clients call in to your hotComm, using your special IM-Live address. See About hotComm Lite.

In addition, if you are running hotComm Call Manager, incoming calls are placed in a queue for response by different hotComm peers. See About hotComm.
