Yugma quietly released it's new Enterprise Service feature a few months ago. They released the new web conferencing feature but never actually announced it in a press release, newsletter, or blog post. But they did recently publically release information on their website, and start talking about it on their daily live online demonstrations.

The new feature allows a user (an "administrator" type) to easily and quickly create free Yugma web conferencing accounts for an entire organization in a matter of minutes. This can can done by simply importing an entire organizations user list (csv format) using the new import feature. I'm not aware of any specific system limits to the import feature... so theoretically, you could import/create as many accounts as you would like to create.

While Yugma has not promoted this feature actively, they did recently publish a tutorial for adminsitrators. The tutorial is buried in Yugma's new tutorial page and can be found at http://www.yugma.com/support/tutorials/enterprise.html. The key advantage behind this new feature is that it lets a user to quickly set up free Yugma accounts for their entire team, company, group, etc.. The free accounts are instantly activated with all of the premium features enabled for the first couple of weeks, and then then the accounts automatically revert to the basic online meeting service level for free, forever. The basic version allows users to instantly launch real-time desktop sharing sessions for virtual project team meetings, online presentations, sales training, customer training, contract reviews, budget planning... you name it. According to the tutorial, to create a group of accounts, a user must first create a "group admin account" at http://yugma.com/Enterprise/. After you create the admin account, you then create or import multiple user accounts.

By the way, after the accounts revert to basic accounts, you (the "admin") can upgrade any or all of the accounts to the premium service level by simply contacting Yugma's sales team and purchasing a group subscription.

BTW: One of my personal favorite "free features" is the customizable widget that lets you create a co-brand Yugma button for your website, blog, intranet portal, or email signature. Click here for an example. You can create your own customizable widget at  https://www.yugma.com/share/widgets/share_tools.php

 I’m in love! The opportunities to grow your business are mind-boggling.

The other day, one client who's down in Kennebunk, Maine, saved 90 minutes of driving time, plus gas and the cost of parking in the Old Port. His investment: 2 minutes in downloading the software.  For the small business owner or entrepreneur, you have to give Yugma a look in this "The World is Flat" world we live in. Whether you use their teleconferencing service, call a client direct, or set up a Skype conference to lay on top of a Yugma session, the opportunities to grow your business are mind-boggling.

 This extremely useful app takes desktop sharing and conferencing to the next level.

I actually found this to be one of, if not the most useful apps I've 'played' with to date. I can open it up, tell a friend, or a co-worker to hop on, and we can have a conference. The thing that I really like about this app is that it is all live, fast, and quick. Instead of having to upload or email a file to the other people, I can just pull it up on my own desktop and show it to them.

Champagne anyone?

Have you ever hastily slapped together a PowerPoint demonstration and felt like you needed some good solid feedback on your spur-of-the-moment masterpiece before you head off to show to a client or whomever might be the informee to your slideshow? Now, what if you were remote, and didn’t have a confidant nearby to say yea or nay?  Well, it just so happens that a few enterprising folks behind the conferencing utility known as Yugma thought of very similar potential dilemmas, apparently, because what they’re offering is a solution that rids you and your team or circle of worry. For free. Champagne anyone?

 Live Collaboration Nirvana = Skype + Yugma

Yugma is our latest find, and it is really cool. We are using the free version which is a java-based program that enables screencasting. I can initiate a webconference through Yugma, and our developers can all see my screen as I browse. It also includes markup tools so I can highlight the page so show exactly what I am talking about. Control of the screencast can be passed to any member on the conference.

 Yugma is brilliantly clear.

Yugma's strapline says it all: free web conferencing, forever, anytime, anywhere, Windows and Mac. It's a beautiful web-based tool for video conferencing, the kind of thing that doesn't need an install from your school IT Technician. It took about a minute to open up, register and get going. Brilliantly clear, with the option to share your desktop (so you can draw, write, illustrate) and a nice set of annotation tools to 'point' out what you're talking about.

 Weird name, but Yugma ROCKS for web conferencing!

Easy to use, free, and the product performance is great.  Uninstall Yugma?
Yu gotta be kidding.

 I was very, very impressed with Yugma.

I don’t showcase a lot of web applications, but this one is different. Web conferencing is necessary for a lot of businesses. From sales, to web design, and more - any job where you work with a team over a long distance needs web conferencing these days.  Mac support in this area is a bit limited, and most services cost a monthly fee, or per session fee…but Yugma is different.  All in all, I was very, very impressed with Yugma. If you need to do any web conferencing, either with your clients, or with your co-workers, this is a great free web based solution.

 Yugma is the trifecta of easy and effective online collaboration.

I love Yugma. It is extremely painless to setup, use, and it is free to do it. Yugma is a web-conferencing tool that has excellent annotation tools, easy controls, and a simple sign-up process. It took me little more than ten minutes from sign-up to knowing how to use Yugma's tools and launching my first web conference without the trouble that WebEx usually gives me. This is the perfect tool for anyone who is teaching a class, discussing a group project, or even collaborating on a business deal. I can't tell you the many times in the last few months that I wished I had a service like this to illustrate a point visually instead of over the phone.

 I can’t stop gushing about Yugma.

I can’t stop gushing about Yugma. It’s finally broken the barrier for inexpensive, interactive screen sharing between Macs and PCs. It’s fast,  it works, it’s cheap and seems to have all the core features of the big guys like Webex and GoToMeeting. It amazes me that it took so long for someone to develop a product like this. Nobody has made it this easy to share between platforms.

 Essential for a total collaborative working environment.

With only a handful of other web conferencing applications currently available, Yugma's free service offers just about the same functionality as with the other paid subscription based web conferencing products. If you're a newcomer to the world of web conferencing, or if you're looking an alternative to your existing application, Yugma is hard to pass on.

 By far the best we’ve ever used.

We have been utilizing virtual meeting software for years to meet online with our designers and programmers in Argentina, France and India. Web based programs like GotoMeeting served our needs well for PC based meetings, but once we transfered some of our staff over to Apples we were no longer able to utilize 90% of the virtual meeting services available. Enter Yugma, a really fast and affordable virtual meeting service that is by far the best we’ve ever used, plus it’s cross platform compatible.

 The price and features are fantastic. You can’t beat Free!

Yugma is a new collaboration tool that lets users share a common online visual workspace and their desktops. It is impressive. Yugma offers free web conferencing sessions for up to 10 attendees (free version) to collaborate and share ideas online.  It is a cinch to start a session and we use it often for sales and training support at Evolving Solutions and YourTeam Online.

Wow!

Free web conferencing tool.  There are premium subscriptions available, but this puppy allows you to share your screen, audio conference, include a whiteboard, have chat, and all without ads.  It also lets you create a widget that you can add to a website to let users web conference with you in one-click.  Wow!  Can we say "another virtual reference competitor" y'all?

 The easiest conferencing setup on the internet.

If anyone is looking for a cross-platform web conferencing tool this is your answer. This tool will work with PCs and Macs as well as with any web browser. It’s JAVA based and is the easiest conferencing setup I have run across on the internet. I’ve looked at them all from Adobe Connect to WebEx to Microsoft LiveMeeting and none of those products have the cross-platform ease of use as Yugma. And the kicker is that it’s FREE to use!!
