Hello!

I'm looking for a software or service for online call conferencing and collaboration with the microphone (and possibly webcam) that will allow either to have screen capture that will broadcast to other members or a live view of a Microsoft Office PowerPoint or Word document.

I'm looking to edit documents, practice PowerPoint presentations with call conference and to chat with up to 15 people.

Similar to Adobe's Acrobat.com or Microsoft's SharePoint (too complicated to setup).

Basically it should have:
  • Call Conferencing
  • PowerPoint or Word Collaboration
    • Live viewing of PPT slides
    • Updated versions of Document
  • Upload/Download large files.

I have a website with hosting on HostGator. Maybe there is a software that I can install on my web space?

The reason I don't want to use SharePoint it is because I don't know how to use it and it cost money to setup a SharePoint server.

I like the Google Docs functionality where you can have multiple users logged in and edit documents online, but I don't think it works with PowerPoint.

ooVoo.com is great, but it's way too expensive and out of our budget.

I'm really looking for a freeware or free service, but I'll consider all options. : )

Thanks so much in advance!

It seems like you're looking for a software or service that provides online call conferencing and collaboration features, particularly for editing documents, practicing PowerPoint presentations, and chatting with up to 15 people. Here are some options that may meet your requirements: 1. Google Meet: Google Meet is a video-communication service developed by Google. It allows for virtual meetings, including screen sharing, and integration with Google Workspace (formerly G Suite), which includes Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. While it doesn't have built-in PowerPoint editing capabilities, you can present PowerPoint slides during a meeting. 2. Microsoft Teams: Microsoft Teams provides online meeting, calling, and...

Microsoft Teams: Microsoft Teams provides online meeting, calling, and collaboration. It integrates with Microsoft Office applications like Word and PowerPoint. You can share PowerPoint presentations during calls and collaborate on documents in real-time. 3. Zoom: Zoom is a popular video conferencing tool that supports video and audio conferencing, chat, and webinars. It allows screen sharing for collaborative purposes. While it doesn't directly integrate with PowerPoint for editing, you can share and present PowerPoint files during meetings. 4. Google Docs: Although it doesn't support PowerPoint, Google Docs is great for collaborative document editing. It allows multiple users to work on a document simultaneously. You can consider using Google Slides for creating and editing presentations in a similar collaborative manner. 5. Zoho Meeting: Zoho Meeting provides online meeting and collaboration features. It includes screen sharing options and is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses. It doesn't have built-in PowerPoint editing features but allows for presentation sharing. Installing software on your web space might be a bit tricky, as most services are cloud-based. You can check if any self-hosted solutions like BigBlueButton or Jitsi Meet fit your requirements, although they might require technical expertise to set up and maintain. For a more tailored recommendation, I can search for software or services that match your specific criteria. Would you like me to search for more options based on your requirements?
