My group used a free service called WebHuddle for our meeting, and it met with disastrous results. One of our members set up the web meeting, and she gave us the lo gin information. Things began ominously when we were unable to get all of the mics to be heard and were forced to text. Things continued downhill as one of our members was unable to log in despite having the necessary information (I and the other two members were successful logging on), and she ended up getting into the discussion via telephone. Also, while I was able to logon to the meeting, I was booted off the meeting after about five or ten minutes and was unable to get back into the meeting. How frustrating!!!! Because our leader was on the phone with another team member, she was unable to answer my phone calls so I could not participate. Fortunately, I was able to provide input before getting dropped. The final "slap in the face" was that, for reasons I don't understand, the moderator has been unable to provide us with link for the meeting so I can post it here.
As frustrated and helpless as I felt during this time, I felt worse for our moderator. She worked hard to get this to get the meeting organized and to find a platform for us to have the meeting, but nothing worked. WebHuddle is a poor website as, from my vantage point, there was little or no help support and things seemed intuitive, such as buttons that looked as if they would have allow all microphones to be heard at the meeting, were not effective at all. I would not suggest anyone use WebHuddle unless he or she were proficient with it already.
