Introduction to Marratech 6.1

The Marratech client is a freely available software that is easily installed on your computer.

Once installed on your computer, Marratech lets you enter a meeting by simply clicking a link on a web page.

What's new?

To find out what's new in Marratech 6.1, please consult the Release Notes.

Flexible and Expert interfaces

Marratech has two different interfaces. Choose the interface that best matches your skills and needs.

Flexible: This new interface combines all the functionality into one window, but lets you close and open the various components, matching your meeting scenario.

The size of the Participants video can also be made larger and application sharing is now available from this mode.


Expert: This interface is meant for expert users. In this interface, all the modules are separate and they can be toggled separately.

Keep in mind that even if you choose not to view the whiteboard or chat (for example) they are still active and being updated in the background, ready for you to make them visible again.

This manual has been written using Marratech 6.1 for Windows while using the Flexible interface. The same main functionality can also be found in the Linux (Redhat) and Mac (OS X) versions.

The manual covers the most common functionality and preference settings. For the sake of simplicity, the screen shots will focus on the new, default, Flexible interface.

The table of contents on the right acts as a guide through the pages. We recommend reading at least the Startup Guide for Windows or Mac before joining a meeting the first time.
