Alternative Online conferencing
Helpful list. I would like to check out a few. I’ve never tried a free form of conferencing. Although it’s not free, I really like RHUB video conferencing and remote support. I attended a meeting and they have a no download option so it allows you to view the conference straight from the browser which I thought was really neat. And of course they had annotation, whiteboard, recording ability, etc. I’m thinking of investing in their product but for now free is good!
http://www.showdocument.com
I want to suggest you try http://www.showdocument.com - its an alternative tool for beamyourscreen that allows document sharing and Free Web meeting in real-time. all the participants in the session see each others' drawing, highlights, etc. It is free and requires no installation.
