Control Transfer
After starting the meeting you can request control of the remote PC or give control of your PC to the remote Participant. There is a control tranfer option in the Create Meetings page, with which control transfer can be made automatic or prompting type.
Auto - This option is set to transfer control to the Participant without asking permission to the Presenter during the meeting.
Prompt - This option is set to transfer control to the Participant after the Presenter gives permission to the Participant's control transfer request.
The control transfer can be done in the following ways:
From Viewer
The Participant can take control of the Presenter's PC using request 'Remote Control' icon in the viewer toolbar. When the Participant clicks on this icon, the control transfer of the remote PC occurs according to the auto/prompt option of the meeting.
From Presenter
The Presenter can also give control a particular Participant of the meeting. Click on the 'Participant list' icon in the presenter tool which provides you with the list of all the Participants in the meeting. There is a small arrow button on the right side of each of the Participant in that Participant list, which has the option 'Give Control', using this you can give control of your PC to one of the Participants in the meeting.
Revoke ControlPresenter can also revoke the control of his/her PC from the remote viewer using 'Revoke Control' option in the Presenter toolbar.
After getting the control of the Presenter's PC, the remote control icon in the viewer toolbar will be changed. Viewer can also give back the control of the remote Presenter's PC by clicking on this revoke control transfer icon in the viewer toolbar.
This doesn't seem very clear. How does the presenter (meeting initiator) take control of the participant's (invitee's) computer?

Hi Pete,
This is only to grant and revoke control of the Presenter's desktop.
To view and control a Participant's desktop, you can do "Switch Presenter" from the web page, or try our Remote Assistance feature (recommended) :

What will happen if the other participant (supposed to take control) joined using the Flash version of the conference? I mean, will he see any message letting him know he should re-join with Java/ActiveX?
Thanks,

We still allow the participant to take the control using Flash but with a notification.
Taking the control using Flash will also work. However taking the control with Active-X will be faster than Flash.
