This is a unique video conferencing service that lets your audience (up to
200 people per conference) send you video questions, really making your
virtual conference feel like a face-to-face one. Video questions can be
sent in advance of the meeting, so presenters can review them and decide if
they want to make the video public. Presenters can also put meeting
participants on screen and move them off at any time. And to make the job
easier, they can even appoint a ‘meeting producer’ who will be responsible
for all video-related issues. Attendees can request to go on-screen at any
time, so they can be seen when asking a question or making a comment, for
example. This tool starts at $39.39 per month.

* ooVoo <http://www.oovoo.com/> *-
A nice, easy-to-use
interface<http://linux.about.com/cs/linux101/g/userinterface.htm> is
what sets this tool apart from its competitors. But it’s not just built on
looks, as it has some great features. For example, it allows for six people
to video conference at a time, in high quality. But best of all, it also
has the ability to record video conferences, storing up to 1,000 minutes of
those online - this makes it easy to share the recording with your
colleagues after the video conference has taken place. Users can also
record and send video messages to other ooVoo subscribers. The one downside
is that it is pricier than its alternatives, as it costs $39.95 per month
for only one seat.

* MegaMeeting <http://www.megameeting.com/>* -
 A browser-based video conferencing tool, MegaMeeting is full of useful
features. For example, it offers unlimited video conferencing with anyone,
anywhere in the world and allows for up to 16 people at a time to
participate in a video conference. Users can control the quality of the
video conference, and also how many frames per second are seen, meaning
that they can adjust how often the webcam image is refreshed to the video
conference attendees. MegaMeeting also supports the sharing of
presentations and the customization of the meeting room with a company
logo. This software costs $45 per month for three subscriptions.

* SightSpeed <http://www.sightspeed.com/>* -
 Made by Logitech, this tool allows for up to nine people to video
conference at once. It also has a video mail function that lets users send
videos of up to five minutes to any e-mail inbox. These videos do not have
to be downloaded, as they are stored by SightSpeed and can be viewed by
clicking a link. In addition, the responses to your video mails are also
tracked and stored, so it’s easy to see what kinds of reactions to your
videos you have received. Like Skype, it also has a
file-sharing<http://compnetworking.about.com/od/basicnetworkingconcepts/a/file_sharing.htm>facility
- so presentations and other materials can be sent during your video
conferences. A single seat costs $19.95 per month.
