652869 2008-03-26 02:05:00 has anyone here had any experience with video conferencing software/solutions?

I'm looking for something for 2 offices to have video meeting with each other over the internet. What is the best solution for this & how much will it cost?

I'm assuming netmeeting probably won't work too well - what do you think?

Both support webcams. Only thing is you have to create an account.

Dont bother with NM, its ancient.

There maybe others, but theyre probably not free.

Other wise use Skype - you will both need to create accounts but its free.

Office live meeting hosted on Microsoft servers looks good. Has anyone had any experience with it?
