A method and system for providing role-based renditions of a shared document during a Web conference, in which different renditions of the shared document are provided to different Web conference participants based on the participants' roles in the conference. A participant with sufficient privileges, such as a presenter, is allowed to associate different participant roles with corresponding renditions through a user interface. The disclosed system further operates to dynamically adjust to the changing roles of participants during a Web conference, such that the rendition provided to any given user is changed in response to that user's role changing during the Web conference. The role of a Web conference participant may be based on any specific information obtained regarding that participant, such as information in a user profile in a user database, or other user information. The disclosed system further operates to provide shared document renditions that are specific to individual user attributes, such as user accessibility settings. A user interface provided to the presenter or other privileged participant allows that participant to indicate which participant roles are to be provided which renditions, e.g. which participant roles will be provided with renditions including additional metadata. Such metadata may, for example, include speaker notes, rendered on the presenter's screen, but not on the attendees screens.
