Tutorial Blog 4: Video Conferencing

Video Conferencing is an excellent tool for businesses to communicate with one another face to face while not having the hassle of traveling to the exact geographical location of the other business. It is a convenient tool to have and removes the stress of commuting to and from meetings. Now that video conferencing hardware and software has become so affordable many companies use it.
In order to engage in a video conference with someone you must have a computer, video conferencing software or web application like skype, microphone, speakers, and a built in or attached video camera.
An example of a video conferencing software is Cisco's WebEx which allows the user to invite multiple users to view their live video stream from their desktop, laptop, or mobile device. You can also record your video sessions to review for later use.

WebEx is great for businesses to communicate but another online video conferencing tool thats is more for social networking is Skype. Skype is available for your desktop, laptop, mobile device, and tv.

I personally use Skype and enjoy the face to face interaction you can have with someone without leaving your home! Its a great way to connect with family members or friends that may live out of town.
Its easy to download and they offer a free trial to try it out! Just go to www.skype.com to get started!

  1. Skype comes under web conferencing category, not in Video Conferencing. This is because its frame size is just 170px, very small, where as a video conferencing need minimum of 340px frame. As per WebEx it is a good provider of video conferencing.

    But comparing to the same quality and price, Peoplelink a new rising video conferencing software provider is gaining trusted popularity in Indian Market these days.
