  • Video capability when lots of people have webcams, not much flexibility to reshape/zoom/crop video feeds.
MS Conference XP
  • Individual flexibility, people can move and reshape windows to best suite needs
  • Video quality seems good, but that might be because I tried it out on a local dedicated server.
  • Requires dedicated server and network support
  • Requires installation and setup that are a little cumbersome
