NSR: Webinars......what software do you use?

**Buzzworthy** · 01-30-2008, 05:42 PM

Some of us have jobs and have to then do things we don't know much about. I have sat through them, but never taught one.

Well, that is about to change. I have been googling and found quite a bit of different software packages with a WIDE range of use (as in how many people can attend at once) and charges across the board for monthly and yearly costs.

Then the "add on" features.........where do I start with those? Some seem like a good idea, but I would like to start with a package and then do "add ons" later if/when needed.

Working peeps, what do you use and why?
Your advice is appreciated, thank you.

My wife uses Webex. If you're interested PM me and I'll get her to respond to any of your questions.

Webex, mainly because the California Energy Commission has an account, but also because it works and other conference things I have use have crashed.

we use M$ LiveMeeting. works pretty well, i guess the new version has been causing some problems. i dont do or attend many 'webinars' but use it mostly for trouble shooting customer software (when i'm wearing my tier III tech support hat). keeps them from lying when you can look at their desktop and see what they are doing wrong.

webex- noidea how it compares to others butit's what my shop chose so that's what I use. Very helpful, I'm sure. Sorry-

We use WebEx and LiveMeeting. LiveMeeting works great for our WAN stuff, and WebEx is great for stuff outside our firewall.

Found GoToMeeting to be the best if you are doing alot of desktop/program sharing, and quite reasonably priced

i would recommend gotomeeting also, over webex; easier to share.

**Buzzworthy** · 02-05-2008, 06:01 PM

Go To Meeting I have used, but not Webex. I attend a Webex one Friday to see what/how it works. I have used GoToMeeting for other things too though.

THanks!

just found out we are moving from livemeeting to webx because webx is much cheaper. not sure if that comes into play in your decision, but thought i'd throw it out there.
