Hi all
I've just been looking into pricing of video conferencing for a client.
Lots of options out there, the most attractive of which is probably Big
Blue Button because it's O/S and looks feature rich.
The downside is that hosting probably requires a VPS or similar, so
likely cost of ~£500 p/a.
So the questions are:
1) Is there an alternative, a good one? I've looked at
- Hangouts (great in theory, flaky in practice)
- Blue Jeans (absolutely brilliant - used for first time yesterday, but
haven't been able to get any answers about pricing - suspect it's expensive)
- Adobe Connect (good but expensive)
- WebEx (download is big, clunky. expensive)
- appear.in (lovely, simple, free, probably not enough features)
..then the obvious ones like GoToMeeting, Skype, etc etc
2) Is there any merit (could we ever be organised / agree enough) in
having some kind of shared resource that the museum community could share?
Madness.
Thoughts?
Mike
