Hangouts are fantastic and free, allowing for up to 10 participants on camera. You get Google Drive integration so everyone can be collaborating on a single file or project. You and your employees can make changes to important presentations, get live input from remote team members, or just plan a company party over coffee. There’s screen sharing capabilities, and if you’re doing a webinar, it’s just a couple of clicks to be instantly broadcasting to the world. Plus, when you’re done, your webinar is automatically archived on your YouTube account.
It’s a really handy, awesome free tool. The problem is if you don’t want your webinar going live to anywhere and anyone. If you want to restrict things a little more â€" say with an invite-only webinar, you’re going to need something like our next solution:
