Response time is fast with good quality screen display. Another plus for Mikogo is that it also free for business use, unlike other “lite” options.

This is a FREE small tool for desktop and application sharing.

It allows you to work with any other TeamUp! Lite user sharing a single application or the whole desktop in just three steps:

1. Select item to share.
2. Enter peer DomainName.
3. Send invitation to share.

We would love to hear from you. Your feedback would be really appreciated.
Best regards!

Perhaps you and Kevin would be interested in taking a look at Mikogo desktop sharing. It’s a free cross-platform app that allows you to share your screen with up to 10 people for web conferencing. Plus it includes remote keyboard/mouse control so you can directly contribute to a document on your participant’s screen, live over the Web.
There is more info at http://www.mikogo.com or please feel free to contact me. I’d be happy to send you further info.

Cheers!

Not very helpful in a conference call.

If you *believe* that Skype implemented everything as it should be done, you can be perfectly OK with Skype service. Otherwise you can find tons of articles on the internet, including http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_security and many more. Please note that if you are Skype supernode, your bandwidth is consumed for other Skype users around, etc.

There are much more concerns from business users, but it may not be your case. (There ARE reasons why Skype is often forbidden on corporate networks.)

My understanding is that Skype is the most secure of all *free* IM clients. Any links backing up your statement?

There are several reasons why not to use Skype for voice communication… using it for desktop sharing seems to be even more complicated from this point of view.

Switched back to VNC. Not as convenient, but worked better.

I think that GoToMeeting is still much better, but as for free, Skype is pretty good.

I was on Skype last night with customers in Oz, and it was great!

Best,
