"Not sure if just a webcast from a large room (church) or if actual video-conferencing may be required."
-- Buyer, Other Business Services, Tracy, CA

"We are making business opportunity presentations. These can be done individually or for larger groups. We prefer the webcast format because the audio comes right along with the presentation (independent of telephone lines). We don't absolutely require the video portion, but we do need the capability to play videos and power points for our viewers. There may be instances where we'd like to trade the controls off to another presenter. We're not so concerned about polling, but do want the capability for the audience to be able to type in questions."
