Tom Cruz asked:




When you are ready to use video conferencing in your business, you need to find a reliable video conferencing company. It is much simpler and easier for everyone if you choose a company to host the software for you and provide web login to your employees. That way, the conference can be accessed from any computer, anywhere in the world as long as the proper log in information is supplied.

When you search for a video conferencing company, you will come across a wide range of options and prices. Remember that cheaper is not always better. You want a company that has a strong track record for uptime and that will present your company in the best light. You do not want to use a free option that will shove ads in the faces of your attendees.

On the other hand, there is no need to overpay by going with a video conferencing company that provides features and services that you will not ever use. You must carefully balance the company’s reliability against the price and services offered.

Many of these conferencing companies offer free trials which is a great way to take the system for a test drive to determine if it is a good fit for you. In fact, it is a good idea to test out a few choices to get a feel for what the various options are.

Some of the best video conferencing companies for businesses are Cisco, WebEx, and Adobe. All three of these are well respected brands that offer a variety of features that would be suitable for businesses of any size.

Cisco offers a high-end service for corporations, media, and educational uses. With the proper equipment, participants appear life-size and life-like. Although high tech, it is simple enough to use that no tech department is needed. Their video conferencing solution can be integrated with collaboration software making this one of the top picks among high level corporations.

Adobe offers conferencing along with collaboration. Their service won an Editor’s Choice award from PC Magazine because of all of the useful features it provides in one package. You are able to provide live video conferencing along with real time collaboration that allows you to easily set up meetings and virtual classrooms. Adobe offers a thirty day free trial so you can test the system to see if it is right for your company.

WebEx is a conferencing company suitable for small businesses and individuals. It is priced under $50 per month yet gives you many features. It does limit you to 25 participants at a time, but the meetings can be recorded and viewed by others later. It allows for up to six-way live video conferencing as well as document sharing and collaboration. Their service can be accessed from any computer or 3-G mobile device.

As you can see there is a video conferencing company suitable for all levels of business owners from million dollar corporations to mom and pop operations. The three above are popular choices but there are many others available to choose from. Video conferencing is a boon to all businesses today no matter if it is used to make sales, train employees, or allow for collaboration. Thankfully it is affordable and easy to use as well.

Michael R asked:


I have several older daughters that I would like to have the ability to talk with online and would like to have the capability to have it done in real time with video and/or a way that we could post video mails for each other. I, do not want to post these for others to see and I know that I could use one of the many video sites for that purpose. I just want to see them as we speak and if we want to share clips of trips of our daily life it would be an added bonus. The traditional email with photos is just lacking in a number of respects. Also, it seems that it should be simple with the video conferencing technology that is available. That is part of the problem, there are so many choices. With so many choices, it just adds to the confusion. My daughters and I are not technically challenged, but we just want something that is relatively easy to use. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
