Mikogo Intros Free Screen Sharing for Skype Extra Video Conferencing

Mikogo, a free online meeting tool, is now integrated with Skype (News - Alert) in a solution called Mikogo Skype Extra — a free Web conferencing offering. Skype users can download the application solution to collaborate with their contacts via four forms of communication: voice, chat, video, and now screen sharing.

 

“Regardless of whether it’s for business or private purposes, Skype users now have the complete Web conferencing package without paying a cent,” said Mark Zondler, Co-Founder of Mikogo. “Free screen sharing combined seamlessly with Skype’s free calls, free chat, and free video, really give the Mikogo Skype Extra users the perfect means of Web collaboration.”

 

BeamYourScreen, a Web collaboration provider, introduced Mikogo as a free screen sharing solution, as expensive conferencing solutions have become out of the reach for private users. With Mikogo, users can host professional online meetings allowing them to collaborate easily with colleagues, clients, friends or family, while saving time and reducing costs.

 

Small emerging businesses or private users are generally unable and unwilling to pay hundreds of dollars a year for a conferencing solution.

 

“Our users are able to employ Mikogo and the Skype Extra for consultations, teaching, IT support, picture sharing, university projects, club meetings, and more,” Zondler said. “They can start a free Mikogo online meeting and invite up to 10 of their Skype contacts to view their screen at no cost.”

 

Joining a free Mikogo Skype online meeting is a simple process with no registrations, installations, or configurations. Such an easy-to-start application in addition to its user-friendly interface again gives Mikogo that crucial edge over competitor Skype Extras.

 

The addition of Mikogo’s free screen sharing to Skype could in fact impact on the way people and businesses worldwide go about their correspondence and Internet collaboration in the future.
