Do you conduct web meetings? If so what service are you using and why?

[Dave Kotecki Company: Life Force International Contribution Level: 5]

I have GVO/Meetcheap. It is part of my hosting so there's no added cost unless you expand your room size. Then it's a one-time payment.

I also have TalkFusion. It's nice because you get 7 other video tools including video email, you can have an unlimited number of people on the webcast, and it's only $35/mo.

I honestly don't understand why everyone uses gotowebinar. I think the cost is too high, especially when you're just starting to do webcasts. My view is that it's better to start small and scale up. Unless you're using TalkFusion. It's unlimited from the beginning.

I agree I do think gotowebinar is way to expensive for those starting out! Many individuals do not need all of the features that they offer either.

Do any of the options you use offer screen sharing?

I use WowWe's video meeting platform, easy to use, browser based nothing to down load, just hop onto the meeting, power point presentations, white boarding features, video and audio streaming, share picture and slides, hold surveys and polls, screen sharing, share documents, cloud based, interact with your audience, private chat features, Let anyone take control of the meeting, use your webcam for live meetings. up to 12 people can be seen via their webcams, 100 attendees at a time, able to send out 10,000 video emails a day, fully integratable to social media and networks, unlimited video autoresponder campaigns, create my own lead capture forms and post them anywhere. All for only $20 a month or refer 3 and it is all free. You can't beat free and I know everyone knows at least 3 people.

They both do, but if you use a Mac there is a workaround for TalkFusion.
It's not difficult, but some think it's too much of a hassle.

GVO/Meetcheap is the evolution of HotConference.
It does all the good stuff

We use on premise RHUB web conferencing appliance in order to conduct web meetings, webinars, web conferences, online meetings etc. It is easy to use and unlike hosted services charging named users for subscription fees, the RHUB appliance allows each of your employees to take advantage of the productivity tools built into the appliance. There is no limitation on the number of users.

I only use free services. Why pay for something you can get for free?

Skype and anymeeting.com will do for me.
