As offices become more virtual in nature, companies are relying more and more on audio-video conferencing to keep synchronized. Software of this nature can be very expensive but small companies have the option of downloading free audio-video conferencing software from the Internet.
By using any of the available search engines, you can search for web sites that offer free software to download. There will be a number of software categories and the audio-video conferencing freeware will more than likely end up under the 'Technical Software' category.
Once you find what you are looking for, be sure to keep these tips in mind before downloading it. Read on how the audio-video conferencing software can be used. Most of the time, as it is free, there will be some technical limitations such as the number of participants who can join the conference, etc...
Then you have to research if the product is safe. You don't want to introduce a virus or spyware into your network, that's for sure. Take note of the product reviews and forum posts about the software. Get an idea of what others have to say about it.
If all is well then it's time to read about its limitations. How many people can join the conference? What can it do? Does it have other features like a chat interface, etc...? The product description is posted in the same page where you can click the link to download it.
Finally, make sure that your existing hardware can run the audio-video conferencing software. What are the hardware and operating system requirements?
If the size of the software is large, you might want to delay downloading the software until the end of the office day. Download time might range from a couple of minutes to a few hours so check it out.
Be wary of downloading trial software. You and your organization might like using it but once the trial period expires, it could cause a delay in work and communications.
If your company really needs audio-video conferencing software, why not think of purchasing it instead? After all, even with the added expense, it could cause savings in other areas such as operating expenses and travel.
