Free Web Conferencing

I did a quick search for free web conferencing solutions - because someone we know wants to spend $500 for another year of Go To Meeting - and we really don't use it enough to justify that. If we hosted larger meetings and more often, maybe, but for what we do one of these free options will work just fine.
  • DimDim - So simple anyone can use it. Unlike other web conference products, Dimdim does not require users to install software on their computers to attend web meetings. Users can start or No downloads join meetings with just a few clicks. Dimdim is available for free so everyone - not just big companies with big budgets - can use it.
  • Yugma - Yugma free web conferencing allows anyone, anywhere to instantly share their desktop and ideas online with others - up to 20 attendees. I'm thinking the Skype Edition looks really promising.
  • Vyew - free for up to 10 attendees, has ads. Browser based with no download required.
All of these are upgradeable if you need additional features - and for less than $500/year.

For phone conferencing there's:
  • FreeConferencing.com - up to 1000 callers with NO reservations, free recording and downloads.
  • Free Conference Calling - up to 500 callers - on demand conference calling, free recording and MP3 playback, and conference call security.
