    Tuning In Free Videoconferencing - Can You Beam with MeBeam?
    ( Page 5 of 6 )

    MeBeam
    Those looking to create videoconferences with MeBeam should be come with low expectations. MeBeam is browser-based and is pretty much a one-trick pony. Videoconferences are initiated by the host visiting www.mebeam.com and creating a unique conference room. The meeting leader informs others of the name of the room, and those guests access that meeting room via the MeBeam Web site.

    Resource Library:

    Video is low quality with low-frame rates; audio is poor quality, and a headset is a must for any voice communications.

    MeBeam uses a Flash-based application to access video and audio from participating computers. Controls are very limited, and additional functions are nonexistent. A word of caution with MeBeam: The site offers a “random room” feature from the home page. Click on that, and you may wind up in a videoconference that you really don’t want to be in.
