It is a client in the sense that it is a program that allows you, the
user, to connect to a server which is providing the necessary support
for a conference meeting to take place.
It is also a server in the sense that you must connect to a webserver in
order to access it, just as Java applets and Flash apps are generally
hosted on webservers. That particular distinction, however, is
irrelevant to the vast majority of users.
