I recently set up a Bigbluebutton conferencing server for a client and it works quite reasonable. It's free software and needs some installation work on a server, but it is a lot of fun, when it's running!
There are some integration plugins for different CMS, so you can control access to the conferences through Drupal or WordPress. On http://bigbluebutton.org you can also create you own testconference. You should give it a try! Oh, and the client software is based on Flash, so it's not too proprietary. cheers, Markus Am 11.11.2010 um 22:54 schrieb Ryan Price: > Apparently the latest Skype (beta 5 for Mac, and the regular release for > Windows) has multi-way conferencing.
