    Review Summary:

    With Webex MeetMeNow  you can instantly share any application or content on your PC with up to 15 attendees, for one low monthly fee.  This is an easy to set up service and just as easy to use.  If you want to share your webcam video and do not need screen recording this is the best solution for you.  If you need screen recording but don't need to use a webcam your best solution is GoToMeeting.
