BuyerZone user comments: web conferencing service purchasing requirements

"Just curious if you can help me with doing a live webcast on a weekly basis, to an audience of about 100 or so people. The idea is, I could use my webcam, and I would be live speaking - I could then have people call-in and they would become part of the Q&A session. I want to be able to show slides, and the total session would be about 30 minutes.Thanks!"

"I am looking to set up a video conference between clients and wanted to see if your software and service would do it for me. Basically, I would have a panel of people from various locations, where I would moderate (host), preferably not to be seen, and they all would take turns talking to one client. Basically, like a press conference or so but I would have the ability to allow one person to ask a question and the others would have to wait but can be seen. It's all about the ability to control the action on my end."
