That’s a great list of free web conferencing programs. If you are looking to host web conferences for a lot of users, I would suggest going with RHUB Web Conferencing or a similar program. Our company has been using them for a while and have had no real issues. (if you’re interested: http://rhubcom.com/v4/web_conferencing/home.html)

Everybody probably knows the well known application RealVNC, which is payware of course there is a freeware alternative called UltraVNC.

While these are great applications offering relatively more features and somewhat more control IMO the downside is that it can have a learning curve and somewhat complicated depending on your use. Also note, that the makers of UltraVNC have Single Click which allows a tech to create a small .exe file that will self activate when an end user clicks on it and when the connection breaks it will automatically deactivate/deinstall so there are no traces.

I’d also include Techinline Remote Desktop (www.techinline.com) in the list above. The simplicity of running a connection is probably second to none (requires no installation on either end). Although the feature set is not as advanced as Webex, it’s still a much better tool to use for a small helpdesk such as mine which also happens to have a limited budget

Thanks for the list. I’ve used Yugma and their basic service is free. It worked well for sharing desktops with others that have Macs. It’s supposed to work with Linux users too – haven’t tried that function yet.

Shanker: I did look at and wanted to include it. But looking at Yugma’s homepage, it didn’t appear to me as if it’s free. The words “Try Yugma Today” made me feel it’s a trial version that I will be signing up for and hence I didn’t bother.

But that’s not the case I guess?

Seen this one? http://www.FreeRemoteSupport.com

More of a remote assistance application than conferencing.
