Microsoft® Lync™ ushers in a new connected experience transforming every communication into an interaction that is more collaborative, engaging and accessible from anywhere. A single interface unites voice, IM, audio-, video-, and web-conferencing into a richer, more contextual offering and a single identity makes it easier and more efficient for users to find contacts, check their availability and connect with them. Lync works consistently with Microsoft Office, enriching the experience of familiar applications like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, Microsoft SharePoint, and more. Your information, your contacts, your work – naturally

My writing group has a weekly meeting where we meet in a video conference. Right now we are using Tokbox but want something better.
Is there a way to run ichat on a pc (through an emulator, etc?)
I’d be willing to run a web conferencing server if anyone knows a good program that both PC and Mac users could connect to.
Just to clarify: I need to be able to video conference with more than one person. There are six people in our writing group so as far as I know AIM and iChat won’t work.

Hi! I want to do online guitar lessons, but I am having trouble finding out which webcams would be ideal for this. I have a logitech Quickcam Fusion right now, but I’d prefer something better.
Any ideas?
I’m hoping to stay under $250.

Thanks!

iFixit’s Kyle Wiens demonstrates how to rip apart the brand new HTC Evo 4G. This phone runs Android, has a gorgeous screen, includes an 8 megapixel camera on the back and a front-facing camera for videoconferencing. HTC’s next Android-powered missile is a big-ass smartphone called the Evo. Designed to run on Sprint’s 4G network, the Evo is packed with a number of powerful features underneath its beautiful 4.3-inch touchscreen. To give us a look at the Evo’s guts, repair company iFixit disassembled the smartphone in an exclusive video shoot with Wired.com. Some of the most notable observations include the behemoth 8-megapixel camera sensor, accompanied with a much smaller 1.3-megapixel front-facing cam for video conferencing. Also impressive was the HTC-branded battery (3.7-volt, 1500 mAh rechargeable Li-ion), which contains 23 percent more capacity than an iPhone 3GS, 15 percent more than an HTC Droid Incredible, and 7 percent more than an HTC Nexus One. The Evo is due in stores June 4, just three days before Apple is expected to announce its fourth-generation iPhone at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Leaked prototypes of the next-gen iPhone revealed a front-facing camera, also presumably designed for video conferencing. The Evo and the fourth-gen iPhone may be the first mobile contenders to spark a battle for video calls.

It’s been KILLING me to even think of the word for when someone has an online conference where one person can talk and be viewed by other people watching the session. When someone says “Hold on, I have a _____ at 8pm”… what word am I even looking for? It’s on the tip of my tongue!!!!!
it’s not teleconference, lecture, or anything like that. i want to say some awkward word… that might not even be english. maybe i’m going crazy and there is no such word.
