Hi ITs:</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia">I am trying to implement video conferencing as a tool that the pastoral
and administrative staff can utilize for remote off site meetings. This
would save
a lot of time, money and make the feel of being at a meeting more
realistic
than three or four way calling. I have been researching some of the
videoconferencing
tools out there and so far I've read good reviews on a few of them
.Below is a list
of the top recommendations from people on line: </span></p>Hi ITs:<br>

<p><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia">However in
addition to the recommendations above, I value the unbiased recommendations of people
in this group who are using video conferencing tools. You are not being paid by
companies to push your products. </span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Wingdings"><span><img goomoji="330" style="margin:0pt 0.2ex;vertical-align:middle"></span></span><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:Georgia"> Therefore can someone please recommend a FREE
video conferencing software or webware that in your experience is excellent and
you would highly recommend. I am thinking at least conferencing between 3 -5 individuals,
with maybe room for more, and possibly application and file sharing. Although
not critical additional features that would be nice are text messaging,
pc-to-pc phone calls, and maybe pc-to-phone calls. I've had Skype but it consumed a lot
of my memory and my entire system ran slowly. Furthermore, I've read that Skype
can expose your computer's firewall. Thanks so much for your help in advance.
It is greatly appreciated<br>
