"I am interested in web consultations for my business. I want the customer to be able to see me talk to them and answer all their questions. I need each 'call" to be private and not broadcast to others (maybe each person gets a "code" to be able to gain access to private conference, and I need it to be available through my website. There will be interaction and dialouge but I can't assume the other person has a web cam so I have to be available to talk to them over the phone for conference or have clip on microphone, or earpiece."

We would like to record once and then make available for playback. Can you give us an idea of what this might cost ASAP just so we can determine if it's practical for us?"
