JoinMe

JoinMe is another good screen sharing solution. It is also quite easy to use.  JoinMe provides free usage of up to 3 participants in a meeting. There are paid plans also available if you want to increase the number of participants plus ads.

JoinMe using java to do screen sharing and audio conference, which is quite an old technology and requires you to download its software which runs a Java applet in your system that slows down your computer over time.

Pricing: Freemium (Free for 3 participants with limited features)

Skype:

One of the oldest and most used audio calling and video calling solutions of all time is the Skype. Launched in 2011 it is still widely used.

Skype has a vast variety of features for free users as well as business users including Screen Sharing, telephone integration, ability to send SMS and calling international numbers.

One of the weak points of Skype is that you need to install Skype in your system and your attendees also need to have Skype install and have a Skype account to be able to conduct and participate in meeting

that is only Skype account holders and conduct meetings over Skype.

It is not a problem if you are doing meetings with friends and family or internal team meetings. But if you are doing a sales call or presentation then it becomes quite cumbersome to ask potential customers to create a skype account to be able to have a meeting.

Skype also has apps for iOS and Android devices plus integrates with Xbox as well

Pricing: Freemium. (Max participants for audio calls is 25 for video is 10)

Google hangouts is the google answer to the audio and video conferencing problem. Google hangouts is awesome and also works out of the browser like Dead Simple Screen Sharing does. Only problem it only supports google chrome.

If you or your attendees are on any other browser, bad luck it does not work with other browsers plus you need to install plugins so as to do audio and video conferencing

Free plans are also limited to 10 participants per meetings and everyone is required to have a google account in order to participate in the meeting

If you are into google hangouts a much better alternative would be to just switch over to dead simple screen sharing. It has all the features plus more and works with Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari and some features even support Internet Explorer or Edge browser.

Google Hangouts have apps for iOS and Android device

Pricing: freemium

Mikogo

Another good screen sharing solution, Mikogo is from Germany and is run by a small team. Mikogo offers much of the same features as other but also requires you to. download its software so as to conduct meetings

Mikogo also offers a free account with only one participant per session, as the paid plans go it is expensive than Dead Simple Screen Sharing but cheaper than some of the others.

Mikogo has apps for Android and iOS.

Pricing: Freemium

Zoom
