Hi! My Dad has been using Skype to join a company meeting. He said more often, he gets disconnected. Are there better application than this? What do you use?
Same here, I was able to experienced issues with Skype. If you want a more profound app and with a complete customer care program, you could try other apps like omnijoin , onstream, readytalk and zoom.Hi!

I agree! video call using facebook is good - depending on your internet provider - of course. We've tried showing presentations and some demonstrations. They were quite a challenge. The issue would be professionalism, I guess? My dad has reservations about encouraging use of FB in the workplace - guess he is old-fashioned that way - lolif you dont need video support then maybe teamviewer, that offers audio chat.
Although I wouldnt use it as a choice facebook also offers video/audio calling and I have found this more stable than skype on occasion.
I remember go to meeting for one of the webinars that I joined a long time ago! It was fun because there is a virtual raise your hand, right? I'll check this out too!I use gotomeeting at work.
Every company I work with also uses go to meeting
Works great, screen sharing etc
Cheap too like 50 dollars a month per account
You got me at FREE - will definitely check it out. Although, I don't think my dad's meetings online, over video or over the phone are very confidential in nature. He still goes to the office for the top secret meetings - lolThere is a little known app called VSee. It is targeted at professional telemedicine, but there is a free basic messenger which is just as good for individual use. If you don't need Skype's large user base with all its incoming spam and whatever, but just to connect with one or a few individuals you can convince to install it, you get a very lean and responsive app. It is claimed that it uses much less bandwith for HD video than competitors, and that NASA uses it on board the Space Shuttle. I can't verify that, but I tried it out over less than ideal internet connections and it went nice and smooth.
