Video Teleconferencing

Video Teleconferencing | Multimedia Players | Going Further

For those operating without high bandwidth, limited teleconferencing is available by combining low cost commercial software and webcams. In fact, teleconferencing software is often bundled with webcams in a relatively inexpensive package. And Microsoft's NetMeeting is available as a free download.

In addition, you can still use a conferencing tool known CU-SeeMe. This was originally freeware, but is now a commercial product. (For more information about CU-SeeMe click here.)

Keep in mind that expectations for video on the web are probably higher than can often be delivered. People are accustomed to seeing smooth motion video and sound with television and movies, but lower-end teleconferencing solutions coupled with limited bandwidth make the prospects of clear, non-jerky, real time communication iffy at best.
