Dimdim… I’m a big fan.  Web-based conferencing software that is EASY for everyone involved.  Think Adobe Connect without the incredibly complex set-up.  Go-to-Meeting with video.  Skype with your whole neighborhood. Blackboard without the pain created by an LMS.  The feature set is robust:

  • Video
  • Multiple Presenter functionality
  • Group and private chat
  • Whiteboard
  • No software downloads :)
  • Recording… for the paid version

And- if you want, there is an open source version.  Or, you could just use it for free (for up to 20 people I think).  I have officially broken up with any other web conferencing software (until something easier and free-er comes along :)

I tried dimdim, but the video was choppy. Might have been my connection, but http://www.teamviewer.com worked much more smoothly. They have mac and PC versions. It’s free for noncommercial use. Hey, whatever works! :-)

Both of those applications look grand- but they both require software download. For me, if all things are generally equal… I’ll pick the one that doesn’t require a download every time, particularly if I plan on having non-technical people participating in my webcast.
