On another thread, a member mentioned using Oovoo for video conferencing. I looked at the site and like what I see.

However, I am looking for a free or very low cost video conferencing option for a couple non-profits I'm involved in. Some of our higher level/district meetings involve people from two states. Video conferencing would be a GREAT alternative, but we don't have permanent headquarter offices from which to host a more traditional type of program.

Oovoo appears to only permit 6 participants if you subscribe.

Any suggestions?

Hi Robin

You might want to try webex or megameeting http://www.megameeting.com/

You might look at MS LiveMeeting http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/li...407251033.aspx

Webex already mentions is a great choice and might check out SightSpeed http://www.sightspeed.com/

Another one to look at is ElluminateLive http://www.elluminate.com/

I have used all of these with except SightSpeed it looks similar to ooVoo but can do upto 9. All the others are really good options.

I've also heard about gotomeeting.com you can set up conferencing between clients in different states.

Other options to explore: Glance, gotowebinar, Audio Acrobat (pricey), Camtasia

Other options might be teleconferences, like using freeconferencealling.com or Instant Teleseminar and then adding a Ning site or Twitetr hastag, or alternative chat type of program.
