Video Conferencing

There are many video conferencing options available, but the quality of your conference will also depend on qualtity of your internet connection, webcam, and microphone. Basic features of most conferencing software packages include the ability to allow people to connect in different ways, to share a screen, to record your meeting.  Most of the differences between these packages tends to come down to the number of people who can participate, the ease of use, and the cost.
