It has all the basic features at a price tag ($49 a month at the time of this writing) that won’t break the balance sheet. If you’re spending much on business travel or conference calls, you can save a lot of money with an investment in MeetMeNow.
Need to set up a meeting? Easy. Sign up for the free MeetMeNow trialand download the scheduling software. MeetMeNow will take you through the steps to set up your first web meeting. The step-by-step wizard will help you set up the meeting, including sending emails to all the invitees. (You can also invite via Instant Messaging.)
Once they get the email, attendees click the Join link, identify themselves, and download a browser plugin. They’re ready for the meeting.
As the presenter you can show any documents on your PC. Better yet, you can designate anyone else as presenter and let them share documents from their desktop. Use the conference as a way to meet in real time, review and annotate documents together, show video from a webcam, and (of course) deliver presentations.
MeetMeNow provides web conferencing (including the toll free phone call) for groups of up to 10 people. Webex is so sure you’ll like it they’ll let you give it a spin with a free 14-day trial.
