Vyew Review

Vyew offers a free Web conferencing solution for up to 10 participants. With this free version, advertising banners are shown on the user console.

Vyew provides the user with two basic alternatives: either the moderator imports a document that is presented during the web meeting or he presents his desktop with all the open applications. With the first alternative the moderator and participants can mark the document with comments - but not edit it. With the second alternative only the user whose desktop is released can edit the documents as the mouse and keyboard control cannot be transferred.

Vyew is not integrated with Outlook and therefore requires e-mail contact addresses to be added manually when inviting participants to a meeting.

Finally, it should be noted that data will be encrypted only for enterprise clients.

Bottom line: The solution is only suitable for presentations that focus on "one-way" communication - but not for joint cooperation.
