Hello JungleQueens and Kings,

I would like to know which Webinar provider you could recommend.I just have tried GoToWebinar but unfortunately it’s not working for me as I’m on a Mac so I’m missing some important features.Most important for me is to show specific applications only. Right now I’m only able to show my whole desktop and start keynote, as soon as I move over to my mail application, my attendees will see this as well.

Any suggestions? Pricing should be similar to GoToWebinar or less

ThanksNick

Hi Nick,

I’ve used http://glance.net

It needs to be used in conjunction with a teleconference line. They can provide it,I think, but I usually use http://freeconferencing.com 

The price is $49 per month which makes sense if you do a few per month or only $9.95 for a day pass which is a great deal. It can take 99 people on the call. 

It’s fast and easy to use. You set up a url such as http://yourcompany.glace.net and the participants go to that page and put in a code number you’ve provided. 

It does capture your whole desktop, but that’s really not an issue. And then you can use keynote as you’re doing now. 

Cheers, Robert

@nickrock – I just came across this article on Pinterest and thought I’d share it with you.  http://open-tube.com/7-free-web-conferencing-tools. Not sure when this article was written or if any of these would suit your needs, but I’ll leave that to you to decide.

@nickrock @melissaagnes i’vent used it on mac but one of my friend who is a mac addicted techie has used MikoGo

@moinshaikh Thanks! Ill be sure to check it out
@nickrock My pleasure!

@nickrock I have Tried and used many of the different conferencing programs.  I’m on a PC and haven’t  tested for a MAC. I’ve been a beta tester for several of them- Hot Conference- now GVO Conference, Webex, Freebinar (now Anymeeting), and Yugma.

 It depends on what you need also- do you need to share your screen? Do you need it for ongoing collaborations or courses? Do you plan on just doing webinars, where you’re the only one speaking?

 I’ve also tried out several free ones like Anymeeting, Vyew, Join.me.

Vyew is cool for ongoing projects since it saves everything from previous sessions. The only real drawback is you can only have 10 people, but you can have up to 10 rooms- so it’s great for small groups. I also use it when working w/ a client, then delete the room after the work is completed.

Join.me is nice and is free for up to 250 people. Anymeeting is free for up to 200 peple, but you can only have 4 people on the mic at a time, but if you don’t need others to speak, then it would work fine. LiveStream- now has an app for FB so you can broadcast from your page and you can share your desktop. I’ve just attended events and have not used it myself.

 GVO’s desktop share is buggy and doesn’t always work well. Back in the summer, GTM or GTW was supposed to become an addon to Skype this past fall, but I haven’t heard any more news on it.

 Almost forgot to add- do you have a Windows emulator? Or if you do, does it not work w/ GTW?

Sorry to be so lengthy, hope it helps a bit.

Not a problem, glad you found it now. Not sure if it had a tag since it was from 6 weeks ago before tagging was done @nickrock

@nickrock I’ve been using Instant Presenter which I like because it has all the features of GoToWebinar but it’s cheaper and they’re integrated with social media. They’ve also been improving some of their functions and overall it works well. I’m on a mac too but the one thing is that it runs better on Firefox than Chrome.

I am using a system that is around 20.00/ month and it actually works well with MAC- can host up to 100 people- 12 on video, but it does not record yet. But they are adding this in the near future along with broadcasting to over 100.

 @prestonodenbrett  Which one is this?
