Finding a good Web Conferencing service online can mean hours of searching. There are many companies out there, and each company has its own prices and features. We have done the searching for you and have come up with a list of companies who provide quality Web Conferencing services at affordable prices.*
There are two types of Web Conferencing services available: VioP (voice over IP) and Conference Call Supported. VoiP supported means that the program will include the ability for you and your guests to speak in the room via a microphone attached to the computer. Conference Call supported means that the service does not include VoiP and you will need to call in to a conference call line on your telephone.
