video & web conference

Hey Tarek

I have a question.  I need to do a video conference which is better Skype or Paltalk and can i have more than 2 cams on view in either

Skype : Skype is good if you have 1 on 1 video conference + It’s Free & It doesn’t allow multi cam conference .

Paltalk : Paltalk is good for multi-video conference but the quality won’t be good if you are a regular member … you have to be a paid member to have a good quality . (If it’s only a 1 time video conference you can sign-up for the 14 free trial at hearme.com)

MSN : The Quality used to be very bad , but I’ve tested it recently and it’s quite good but again it’s only 1 on 1 video conference .

Other video conference solutions

Webex: They Offer a 14 day free trial  + Multi video conference + Desktop & apps  Sharing , I’ve tested it … all what you need is a good connection and live in the States or Canada (Since the voice will be on phone … they will give you a 1-800 number + conference number)  so anyone can join the voice call .
