Maybe for support down the line, but this is for demoing to customers - we'll share our screen with them.

screen connect does that as well and call it a meeting

I'm in a mixed group, some silver boxes some black boxes, Lync/Skype works well with my black box brethren. With the Silver boxes we tend to use Zoom, the only drawback is that meetings can only last 40 minutes.
Me, I'm a black box.

I (and the company I am working for) use join.me - it is free and works reasonably well.

At work we use the paid version of GoToAssist. It's been very reliable. I also use the free version of TeamViewer for personal use. I'd recommend either.

To answer the question: My flavour depends on the circumstances, that is the use case. What's your use case?

I have started using Zoho Meeting, http://join.zoho.com/ its quick and easy and free for low usage. I use teamviewer for non-commercial purposes but their licences are too expensive for occasional usage.

|
|

I use a mixture of gotomeeting and webex.
Gotomeeting is cheaper but some customers can only work with webex.
Both are reliable high quality solutions.
Used joinme in it's early days and it sucked, maybe it's better now?
If I had known then the things that I know now, I would not have done the things that have lead to me knowing what I do.

i was impressed when a sales person did a skype call and demoed the product with the skype screen sharing.
when tried using again later with colleagues, learned both ends need camera and mic which I had not known. (maybe just a mic needed, not totally sure)
So yeah, if have camera and mic, lots of people already have skype installed and using, so stick with that.
also noticed HipChat had screen sharing as well recently.

I haven't seen anyone else mention it yet, but I use the paid version of Mikogo for business meetings with clients (when I'm working as a contractor). It works really nicely and I haven't hit the limit on participants yet.
It includes VOIP that works really well, but the meeting is all-VOIP or all-phone (dialin), so the lowest common denominator wins if you have a mixed bag of attendees.

GoToMeeting
I use it nearly daily. Sometimes for 6hrs a day.
Not great for Support, but for holding a meeting, recording the meeting,
and dial in phone numbers and audio that ACTUALLY WORKS.
5 companies I work with are now subscribers, based on their positive experiences using it!
Meetings start fast. I am about to launch one in 10 minutes. I have 4 scheduled for today.
I work remotely.
And I can start a meeting from my cell phone (android), and then transfer to the PC. Very handy.
Not much on file transfer, but easy to send links to the other computer.

I regularly use both GoToMeeting and Join.me for international online meetings.
I don't have a preference; both work very well to coordinate our activities over. The presenter's screen is displayed for all to see. Voice can be via your microphone or dial in for those who don't have a microphone on their PC.

Since you said this was mainly for "demo" purposes, maybe "broadcasting" is an option? (using Screen Capture as the source; among other things) ...

Previously I used TightVNC, though a pain to setup if the other party isn't exactly "literate".
These days, NoMachine. It has a interactive and view-only mode as well. The fastest throughput I've yet seen in any of these remote screen sharing systems. Very easy to use, even across all major OSs. The free version only allows one connection at a time, but the enterprise version gives the possibility of several viewers / interacters on the same screen.
Might be worth while to check out.

It isn't perfect, but Google Hangouts works as well as any.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

GoToMeeting. Been using it for years. Big savings if you pay per year vs. per month. Very reliable. Never have had any trouble connecting through any network or corporate firewall.

Hi CodeProject members,
Greetings!
After being a passive reader of CodeProject articles for so long a time, it feels great to be actively contributing something to this thriving and extremely helpful community.
Recently, I decided to undertake the task of explaining some relatively complex concepts of T-SQL, SQL Server and MSBI, in an effort to give back something to the community I have been learning from for so long.
My goal is to simplify the explanation and elucidation of the concepts as much as possible, at the expense of being annoyingly verbose if need be. 
To this effect, I started with explanation of a recursive Common Table Expression in t-SQL. My article can be found at[^] http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1139746/Recursive-CTE.
Now this is my first attempt at explaining something in writing. I need feedback-, how have I fared overall, suggestions for improvement, possible topics for later etc.
Thus, I am sincerely hoping, active community members would help me out in this regard. I have tried explaining the recursive CTE concept to the best of my ability here. But of course, often one's best is still lacking in some respects. Please come forth with your comments and feedback.
Could I have used a better example to explain the concept?
Could I have used better formatting for the code snippets? Or the result-sets?
How could I have ensured that this article is as helpful as possible to a person who is finding it difficult to grasp the recursive CTE concept?
Looking forward to hearing from you.

So...you've been here 7 years, and you've suddenly decided to post the same message in three places, trying to drum up support for your article. And you can't even get the link right...
That's not particularly nice - it smells of desperation.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ah yes. True. Thing is I wanted to post this message only once. But immediately on posting it, the website reported 'Message removed'! And I was confused if I was doing something wrong-like posting my message in the wrong forum perhaps. Therefore, the repetition.
And I couldn't get the link right. True again. I am doing this for the first time.
By the way, is there any specific rule or regulation which bans people from posting anything after 7 years?
And regarding drumming up support for an article, the article is what it is. The article's usefulness or worthlessness should not be judged simply on the basis of a perceived desperation on the part of its author. Give the article a chance to prove itself.

Not only that, but a quick check shows the content of your article as a delected question on Quora: How to explain T-SQL recursive CTE concept with a simple example - Quora[^] - so you could be wide open to plagiarism accusations here, unless you can prove you wrote an answer there instead of the question...

I wrote the answer there and I can prove it.
|
|
|
|
|
Go on then.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

But if you don't mind, can you spare some time and tell me how the article is?
