There are 5 other members in the startup and they work in different locations. We are looking for online meeting software suitable for a small distributed workforce. It has to support at least voice chat and screen sharing.

Which online meeting software do you recommend?

How about Google+ Hangout. We use it in many occasion for user group meetups.

It's free. It supports screen sharing. You can add up GoogleTalk messenger as well.

At first I doubted the features in Google+ Hangouts. But I've just tried and I love it! In Google+ Hangouts extras have most of features I want. – Ryan Rho Jan 21 '12 at 8:06
I've tried this in the meeting but voice was a bit choppy and some members were frequently disconnected. So we switched to Skype + Mikogo for now. But definitely Google+ Hangout Extras has great potentials. – Ryan Rho Jan 23 '12 at 21:52

Stick with the basics: Skype for voice chat and Join.me for screen sharing.

If you would like to stick to Skype, I would recommend you to use Mikogo for screen sharing. You have to pay Join.me to change the presenter. – Ryan Rho Jan 21 '12 at 20:24
Our team loves join.me, but I'll check that out too. Thanks! – Joe A Jan 21 '12 at 20:33
Join.me has great UI and is easy to use. I would use join.me if you don't have to switch the presenter. If you do need to switch the presenter, Mikogo will be great, but its UI is a bit clunky. Happy video conferencing :) – Ryan Rho Jan 21 '12 at 20:54

We usually use Skype and Teamviewer - skype for the voice chat, and with Teamviewer you can even share screens for free!

+1 for Teamviewer. – tehnyit Jan 24 '12 at 18:44

buzzumi.com is audio and video chat in the browser and you can share pdfs and youtube videos. Disclaimer: I work for them.

It seems to be great for another purpose, but I found some limitations on screen sharing for advanced video conference. I like the simple design thought. Keep up the good work! – Ryan Rho Jan 21 '12 at 8:03
