Personally, I find that VoIP call quality is usually much better than the garble of a landline conference call, plus you don’t have to use up cell phone minutes or pay long distance charges.

Both services give you a free conference call line and chat box, but Vyew’s is a bit more full-featured and, more importantly, they offer a VoIP line. The other area where Vyew wins out is with communication. Depending on your connection speed, the shared view on Join.Me ( and Vyew) can sometimes look like a poorly compressed JPEG. One other thing: When each participant is looking at a slide directly, rather than seeing it displayed on the presenter’s shared screen, it looks crisper and truer to the original. You can also comment each slide, and if you feel it’s necessary, mark all over it with your pen. pptx file, it becomes incorporated into the Vyew room’s pages-you can leaf through them at your leisure, or be forced to follow along by the presenter. You can share your entire screen, or even a portion of your screen, but you can also upload a PowerPoint presentation, screenshot or some other file directly to the web conference room. It gets the job done.īut with Vyew, screen-sharing is just one of the presentation features. So, to show a PowerPoint, you’d just view it on your own screen as if they were watching over your shoulder. Participants see what you see, and that’s it. That’s because Join.Me is solely a screen-sharing app. If all you want to do is let participants see your screen and be able to talk their ear off at the same time, both Vyew and Join.Me deliver-but in my opinion, Vyew gives you a few more options. This is what you’ll use to slog through your PowerPoint presentation ( unless you have Powerpoint 2010 of course…), conduct a tutorial or run a brainstorming session. The bread and butter of both these apps, and of all web conferencing suites, is the screen-sharing and communication. Screen-sharing and Communication – Winner: Vyew

If you install Vyew from the Google Chrome Web Store, that’s only a one-step process, but it’s still one more step than it takes to accomplish the same with Join.Me.įor ease of setup, it’s a photo finish, but Join.Me wins by a nose. But you do have to be a registered user to create a room in Vyew. Of course, if you have any business running a web conference, you should have no problem. But Vyew has a few more hoops to jump through on the presenter’s end. On the participant’s end, it’s virtually the same story over at Vyew-all they have to do is click a link or accept an email invitation. As a participant, all you do is click a link and you’re in. But I’m just completely enamored with Join.Me’s ridiculously simple interface-as the presenter, all you do is visit Join.Me and Click Share. Both are browser-based and work just fine in Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer. Neither of them require any sign-ups, registrations or plug-in downloads, which is vastly appreciated. For that reason, the first test of whether a web conferencing app passes muster is it’s ease of setup-how much effort does it take to get in to the conference as a participant?īoth Vyew and Join.Me score incredibly high on this front-but I think Join.Me takes the cake. Getting Started – Winner: Join.MeĪs anyone who has ever tried to conduct a web conference, you know by now that the more people you invite, the greater the chances that at least one of them is woefully tech incompetent. For that reason, we won’t even mention some of Vyew’s other features and focus only on features that Join.Me users considering Vyew might like and vice versa. Now, I realize that I may be comparing apples to oranges to some degree here-there is a lot that Vyew does that Join.Me doesn’t and never intended to. For now, check out this side-by-side comparison of some of the key features for both of these services.Ĭonversation Q&A ( everyone muted, but can voluntarily unmute) Presentation (all muted except organizer) Aside from that, you’ll probably seek out Join.Me or Vyew for the screen sharing and conference calling and perhaps be swayed to make it your web conferencing app of choice based on the features and performance. The main attraction for both of these products is the price-they are both free, but with a few premium features ( which we’ll discuss later).
