Ask HN: Best way to do a screenshare with 50 people?
I'm running a sales presentation tomorrow where folks are going to watch a Power Point demo remotely. We've been using Adobe's ConnectNow product for these and it works pretty well. But it has a 20-person ceiling.
Just found out tomorrow's call is going to have 40 (!) people on it.
Adobe's got a crazy expensive thing that takes 3 days to provision. Webex is telling me the same story.
Anyone have a better way to do this?
- mikerhoads 16y agoWhy not a private ustream/justin.tv + screen broadcast software? It won't look as professional as webex but will work for 50 people.
- jrsmith1279 16y agohttps://join.me/ https://join.me/ might work for you. It has a limit of 250 people and it's totally free. Unfortunately there aren't any conference call capabilities with the free version, but they do offer a trial of the pro version, which does come with a call in number I believe. Edit: I was wrong - the free version does give you a conference call number.

- jrsmith1279 16y agoIt uses Java, so it may be a problem with either the version of java that you have, or maybe machine permissions if you're not a local administrator.
- brandnewlow 16y agoWill try another machine. This looks great. Just need to get it working.
- DevX101 16y agoI'm in active development on my startup at livelearn.tv that should be able to work though i haven't yet tested it with 50 ppl. No cost. Shoot me an email if you are having problems and I'll help set you up for tomorrow.
