Virus Scan for CUMeeting

Nelson Therrien One of the features of similar products (like Adobe Connect or TeamViewer) is that when we share screen, we can also see and take control of the computer the viewer is using... This is important for me, since I'm using those to teach (and I need to help my student if he/she is stuck somewhere)... Is it available with your software as well?

Nelson Therrien P.S. After one year, it will auto renew at 182$ per year?

Aug 31 2013 at 6:32am Copy Link

Nelson Therrien I just read on your website that the 182$ yearly is for 8 attendees... So, if it auto-renews after one year, will it renew for 8 attendees or it will keep the 16 attendees of this promo (next price is 374$ for 25 attendees)...?

Nelson Therrien Sorry, me again...

I see on your website you talk about a "16 way videos and polling"... So, here when you talk about "16 people", do you actually refer to that (like a maximum of channels or I don't know what) or to the number of attendees (the price you specify is usually for 8 attendees)...?

Also, what does the viewer (user) need? Just a Flash player (or app for mobiles) like Adobe Connect, since they are accessing a specified URL, or a free player (like for TeamViewer) that they can download (I didn't find any link on your website for that)...? I just hope they don't need to buy the subscription as well... because all I can see is a free trial and no explanations of how it works...

ezTalks @Nelson

1. Absolutely, we support remote control.

2. Yes, it only promotes for the first year, for next year, it will charge original price.

3. Auto-renew still supports 8 attendees as the original plan you purchased.

4. 16 way videos means we support 16 video streams displayed simultaneously. If there are more than 16 people, we can display them in turn. Here 8 attendees package is the basic package, if you want other packages such as 25 attendees or 50 or even more, just contact us at support@cumeeting.com, you also can get the same discount.

5. It is app that you need to download. If you want to try, contact us and we will send you the download link and trial account. It is free for 15 days. I see your apply and I will send you the free trial accounts.

Alexander Deliyannis 1. So, to be clear:
- 16 is the technical limit of simultaneous video feeds in CUMeeting generally.
- The present promotion is for the Basic package which supports up to 8 participants. Therefore, the 16-feeds limit is irrelevant in this case. Correct?

2. I am personally very interested in your solution. My team uses web conferencing all the time for providing services across Europe but up to now we have been relying on some ubiquitous and overpriced solutions I am sure you have heard of. However, can you please provide your company's headquartes location? I find it very hard to talk serious business with companies that don't disclose this. It's not a shame to be based e.g. in Eastern Europe, many remarkable ICT companies are based outside the US and the EU--and I for one am grateful for that.

3. Does your company have servers around the world to optimise traffic between overseas participants?

Some of this info might be somewhere in your website but I was unable to find it.

ezTalks 1. You are totally correct. But if you want the premium package, we can still provide the same discount.

2. Our company is located in China, but the server for our software is located in US. You can free try and see if the speed is okay for you. So no risk for you.

3. Yes,we have the plan to locate our server in some important area such as Europe. But now our server is located in US and China. But we may achieve this soon.

JamesCGW Thanks for the deal! I teach online and at times I need the following:
1. Remotely access students computers (which the program does)
2. Allow the students to access my computer?
3. Share my (laptop) LCD, and/or a second or third external monitor?
4. Share Foxit, Adobe PDF, Word, PowerPoint or OpenOffice apps?
5. Have 8-12 hour sessions online, 5/6 days a week?
6. Have students access laptops at my location to perform labs?
7. How large of files can be shared? Maximum size?
8. Will it run on Linux as well as Windows?
9. Make another person Host or Presenter?
10. Allow students to remain together online if I leave the meeting?
11. Allow students to also write to or change the whiteboard?
12. Allow more than one whiteboard to switch between?
13. Any wired, USB wireless, or Bluetooth headset using Windows or Linux?
14. Have virtual lab rooms for each student?
15. Is there a price guarantee (locked) if multiple years are paid for in advance?
16. Is support offered 24/7 and where is support located?
17. Able to remove or dismiss an attendee?

Sorry for all the questions but I use a number of different solutions but yours is at least the most reasonable in pricing? And yours is a nice looking product, very well done. The video was helpful to watch.

Thank you very much.

Wol Barabas Well, since you post :" Due to the weekend and the account needs to be created by our support team manually, so for those who make the order, we only can send you accounts next Monday. So sorry for the inconvenience caused."

Why don't you extend this deal for Monday when accounts CAN be created. I downloaded the demo but there is no way to determine if this software is good.

It seems odd that you would offer a 'deal' when you cannot activate the product. I don't feel like spending even a dollar without confirmation that it works by using the trial. Who knows? Your server might be operating at a snail's pace and I see no reason to risk money when I get a basic product for free from Teamviewer.

VLM First, many thanks to JamesCGW for an outstanding list of questions!!! And now, for more ...

VLM-1: Regarding multiple monitors, can we specify one monitor NOT shown? For example, can we display meeting controls on a second or third monitor and absolutely prevent that monitor from being displayed?

VLM-2: Also, can one person/computer be presenter and a second person/computer concurrently be meeting manager (monitoring for hand raises, for example)?

VLM-3: Regarding "Yes, others can remark on the whiteboard", can we turn this capability on/off, both for the whole group in attendance and for individuals?

VLM-4: In response to "Any wired, USB wireless, or Bluetooth headset using Windows or Linux?", you replied "No". I'm afraid I don't understand the question, much less the response. Why would the way the headset is connected matter at all?

VLM-5: In response to " Have virtual lab rooms for each student?" you wrote "Not clear of this question, but you can create many different conference room for different students." I'm not sure here what "conference room" means, but I think the intent of the question, or at least my interpretation, is something like "Can the presenter send one or a few students off to a separate little meeting to work on something, then bring them back into the main session when they are ready?"

VLM-6: In response to "17. Able to remove or dismiss an attendee?", I believe your eyes may have passed over that question from JamesCGW. :)

VLM-7: Can there be one host with multiple concurrent presenters? Also, can the host designate a sort of "conference manager", who sits and monitors hand raises and the like, without giving up ultimate control of the conference? (This is, or at least was, a bit limitation of the Citrix products, IMO.)

VLM-8: Is it possible to host 2 conferences at once? For example, if I have a meeting going with a client's team, and I wish to initiate a side conference with some on my own team to make sure I don't promise something ridiculous, is that possible? Or, can another member of my team initiate a brief meeting while I am in the middle of a teaching session? I guess this is really a "one license or two" question. :)

VLM VLM-10: On your own website under your "Solutions" tab, you list Online Meeting/Teaching/Training, Video Presentation, and Webinar Service. Are all of these built-in capabilities of CUMeeting? (I believe the answer is "yes", but just to be sure.

VLM VLM-11: On your web page http://www.cumeeting.com/...eting.html, you write: "Whether you'd like to meeting online or over the phone or on other mobile devices, our video conferencing solutions are always willing to help you reach and collaborate with your worldwide partners and customers regardless of distance." Does this mean that people who come in by phone are included in a recording of the meeting, if we have you make the recording? In other words, are the online, VoIP, and telephony all integrated into the conference and therefore into the recording?

VLM Wol Barabas - Doesn't TeamViewer cap at 25 participants for all versions? That's what this page seems to indicate: https://www.teamviewer.co...index.aspx. CUMeeting caps at 100 participants. So I guess it might depend on the size of meetings, conferences, webinars, etc. you anticipate. And for very large meetings up to 200 (training) or 1000 (webinars), there are solutions from companies such as Citrix (GoToWebinar, GoToTraining, GoToMeeting).

Nelson Therrien I also really like TeamViewer and I've been looking at other solutions since yesterday...

I would say, for my use (teaching), both Adobe Connect and TeamViewer do the job... CUMeeting would come third (and I tested about 10 solutions...

BUT, if you consider the license for TeamViewer, it is free for personal use ONLY... If not, it costs at least 689$ (one-time fee)...

So, it's the price of about 3 years of Adobe Connect... And many years of CUMeeting.

At 40$, this is the best you can get (if you use TeamViewer legally)... And even after the first year, it's still cheaper than the other solutions (remember, after a few years, you'll also want to upgrade your TeamViewer license)...

JamesCGW VLM thank you for clarifying what I was trying to get at. You must present a lot as I do and I have tried a lot of different solutions but they are too costly. I had forgot about a side conference person assisting. Thank you.

Now CUMeeting.

As regards headsets VLM is absolutely right it should not matter what brand or model headset I use. I have run into a problem with a popular Conferencing/Chat utility that a certain company M$ has partnered with. My Logitech wired headset works with everything but that service. My Plantronics Bluetooth works with it as does my USB wireless headset.

On the virtual lab-conference-meeting-room :) I need to put students into separate "rooms" or areas where they cannot hear what I say to another person. I also need to put a computer in the room with them and give them access to it so they can work on lab exercises, since I host the lab computers remotely from them. Then as VLM says return them to the Main room to continue our group meeting until the next exercise. And not have to create the rooms every time they are put into one and the rooms do not go away but are there for the next day.

Whew . . . lot's of questions but it does seem that your product does what the others do and thankfully at a lower cost of ownership.

Btw, it is now approximately Monday 8am CST so we should be able to get the license within a few minutes or so should we not? What time does the department that handles licenses start?

VLM - - - - with multiple monitors I was thinking more along the lines of meeting controls on monitor #2, PDF or demos on monitor #3, with monitor #1 being used just for me watching movies or TV shoes or gaming (which I do not have time for). 8-) -- can't hit a guy with glasses.

Teamviewer is focused on remote control and related features, but CUMeeting focused on video conferencing, they are different.

As Bitsdujour scheduled on Sunday, I have no choice. But we can extend the discount for another day, so don't worry about this. Also you can apply a trial account firstly to have a try.

ezTalks @VLM

1. Now we only support two monitors, but no way not to display the monitor. Do you guys think it is important for you? Because we need more information to see if possible to add this in our upgraded plan.

2. Now we have three roles for our meeting, Host, Presenter, Attendee. Host is like the meeting organizer who has the highest authority. Presenter is like the teacher, trainer, etc. Attendee has the lowest authority who can just listen, but can apply to speak. Also can apply to be presenter.

3. If attendees wants to remark on whiteboard, they need to apply to be presenter firstly, so if anyone wants to remark on the whiteboard, they need to get your permission (presenter) firstly.

4. I think I may misunderstand this. I thought your question was our software if supporting Linux, so the answer is no. But for wireless or bluetooth headset, if okay to use in your computer, it will be okay for our software.

5. Thanks for your clarification. For your question, the answer is absolutely YES. The presenter/host can select the users they want to a separate room for another meeting.

6. Sorry for the missing of that. Yes, the presenter/host can dismiss the user.

7. Host has the right to manage the conference, if the host has something to do, he can also designate other attendee to be the Host.

8. One host only can organize one meeting, if you want to have 2nd meeting, you need to have another host account.

Hope above answers are clear for you.

Since you are in China (btw, where at in China?), since you are around the world from me (well almost) what is latency like when hosting a meeting with servers based there and not a local install? What is your server uptime like? What OS do you guys use? If I may ask these questions. If no answer I understand.

I like your elaboration about the virtual lab etc. Very well put, and I echo the question.

Regarding timing, I have a feeling they may need a bit of time to get all this up and running. Perhaps they are a bit overwhelmed by the response, and by all these questions, and by the desire on the part of so many to buy higher-order and longer-term licenses. They may even require a meeting! :):) BTW, it appears to be sunny, no wind, and about 68F in Beijing right now.

VLM Thank you, yes great response.

You write: "Now we have three roles for our meeting, Host, Presenter, Attendee. ... Host has the right to manage the conference, if the host has something to do, he can also designate other attendee to be the Host." I have always felt that a fourth role would be constructive, namely a conference monitor or administrator. This role would have some powers of the host, but not ultimate control of the meeting. Why? When I am host, I have enough to do with presenting and interacting with other presenters, if present. I always like to have another person monitor and interact with attendees. I have used the suggestion of letting someone else be host, but I've always felt a bit uneasy with that solution, not so much with respect to control of that session but because it means giving up the primary login information for the entire account.

Also, during a meeting is there any kind of messaging capability between host and presenters, host and attendees, and attendees among themselves? Citrix has this type of feature, and it is most helpful. Also, if there is a monitor, then when the monitor sees a hand raised, the monitor can find out what is wanted. Some items can be handled without bringing the person into the conversation.

And just to be clear, the software supports all of "Online Meeting/Teaching/Training, Video Presentation, and Webinar Service", correct?

Finally, regarding your question about multiple monitors, I am typically happy with a single monitor, as long as I can put the meeting controls on a second one.

I assume that I can display either the full monitor or a specified window only during a presentation, correct?

Thank you! I have sent you email about signing up for multiple years and await your response.

4. Sure, you can display in full screen or just specified window.

VLM JamesCGW, I believe that all multiyear purchases will be handled BEGINNING tomorrow, Monday. So I think we're okay in that regard.

CUMeeting -

If I understand correctly ...

3 years @ 25 users = USD 246.84
3 years @ 50 users = USD 373.56
3 years @ 100 users = USD 563.64

Correct?

And you only wish to make this offer available for 3 years maximum, correct?

On a different topic, I thought, in an earlier response, you said that we would be running through a US-server. Now, it sounds as if it might be some combination of US- and China-based servers. Is this correct? This may be important, because frankly, the Chinese government is not well known for respecting the privacy of anyone on the planet. We realize that your company will do whatever it can to preserve privacy, but there are limits when faced with a behemoth like the Chinese government. Which is not to say that the US government has behaved any better, I suppose. Perhaps you should put your server on a ship in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. :):) Perhaps we all should.
