It also doesn't allow as much video conversation.

I'm wondering about the importance of video. Is it just going to be someone in a chair talking. I think Skype with Yugma is seamless, and it really is an elegant easy solution.<BR/><BR/>I just don't like the idea of pulling in video for the sake of it if it's not really bringing added value to the table.<BR/><BR/>Also, if anyone wants to see Yugma and skype in action, feel free to Skype me at brianmullnl.

There are several people who know how to webcast and may be able to stream your conference. They would need to be in a Skype audio call for this. This is done often (8 shows I think) on edtechtalk. Flashmeeting, while not not quite like Skype, can also be streamed. It is free but I don't know the participant limit.Durffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683687754001195123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1293651735518246988.post-80690005610467756372007-09-13T18:10:00.000-06:002007-09-13T18:10:00.000-06:00You're absolutely right.
