Multimedia includes not only JPEG and GIF images, but movies, sound, animation, and objects that allow people to interact with your Web page. It offers you a way to make your Web page more appealing to your audience. With Claris Home Page, you can quickly add Quicktime movies, Java applets, and other types of multimedia to your Web page to make it stand out and draw your audience in.

Some types of multimedia, such as QuickTime movies, require external helper applications on your audience's machines in order to view or hear them. In addition, their browsers require specific plug-in applications to be able to recognize and display the multimedia.

You can use Claris Home Page to provide an alternative message for your viewers who can't see your multimedia and a way for them to download the necessary helper application or browser plug-in.
