Look at video conferencing software that's easy to use

Video conferencing should save time, not waste it. You don't want to have to spend very much time learning how to use your video conferencing software.

I recommend: iVisit offers desktop video conferencing software and a free trial so you can test the usability. MegaMeeting sells a system that users call "easy to use." 

Choose between browser based video conference and software for video conferencing

Propriety software is available on the market and usually has restrictions on how it can be used if you are not the owner of the program. Some programs also have their own software and hardware specifications, and there are customer service representatives available with whichever program you choose to help with any problems or questions about set up. A browser based video conferencing program is installed strictly through the service provider's browser, so there is no need to download any software. Once online all you need to do is access the website and follow the easy instructions for set up. Browser systems are compatible with most systems.

I recommend: If you are looking for software you can customize just for your business, Smith Micro Software has video conferencing software available. A popular browser solution is Mega Meeting where anyone anywhere in the world can join your meeting.

Choose the best video conference software for your business

Video conference systems are all different. Some are for PCs only, some for Macs and some can accommodate both with a bit of tweaking and so on.

I recommend: A company like Tanberg will help you find a video conferencing solution for your business needs. They will conduct a full, internal audit to make sure you make the right video conference software choice.
