I recently started doing web meetings with the Yugma FREE service (https://www.yugma.com ). It's amazing…. so I'm mentioning it here as FYI for you. Fast, secure. reliable, works on Mac and Windows (they say Linux is coming soon). I've had no issues with it. And best of all, it's free forever. That means you can invite up to 10 people to your web conferencing or desktop sharing session for free. Worth a look. And good to have as a back up solution. Hope that helps, Paul
