What do you guys use for video calling or conferencing aside from Skype? Can you suggest any other VoIP service for a online business meetings? I have also heard about OmniJoin and we want to try but I have no idea if it is more efficient to use than Skype. Does anyone here using it? Feedback please. TIA.

We have used Citrix for OpenVoice (no video) conferencing with multiple attendees on a call. Rate worked out to $0.094 per minute per attendee. Citrix provided a toll free number for the conference call attendees to use, with dedicated meeting room for us as moderator, ability to lock out any further callers once call started and also record the call. Didn't have any calls last month so there wasn't any expense. The best part is Citrix equipment is configured to line balance all attendees volume for even and clear calls. They also have video conference (GoTo Meeting) options for small to large businesses. Something to consider.

I've already called OmniJoin to schedule an appointment with them but I'll take note of your suggestion just in case this doesn't pull through. Thank you!

As far as I’m concerned, I definitely prefer Discord over Skype, but for some people Discord doesn’t work, and it doesn’t have screen sharing.

Hi, beneficentnurse! Just ready your reply and appreciate it. Yea, screen sharing is important to us. But thanks for sharing your opinion.
