Not the greatest program to chat with, but it's free

by poneyby Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 13 '00
Pros: Whiteboard and Sharing Applications
Cons: Hearing on talking to each other. Fuzzy sound and many break-ups.
I haven't used NetMeeting in a few month, but it seemed to have so many problems when I did use I think that is why i stopped. You can save yourself a lot of money on those long distance calls that is one good thing, but trying to hear and talk was never...

Hi Mom

by pwinkle , Jan 27 '00
Pros: Pictures from far away
Cons: Rough installation, network slow at times
Netmeeting is one of the best computer software products ever created! My family lives over 1,000 miles away and even though I get home quite often to visit, it is just not the same.

When I became pregnant it was really hard for me and my...

Great for talking with family or meeting new people

by sgrims , Jan 25 '00
Pros: Great to connect with far away family and friends and easy to use
Cons: Content of some of the people can get risky
Being a mom of two kids and having family spread throughout the world, we thought that having the computer would be a great way to still be able to get with our family members and not spend tons of money on a phone bill. To our surprise it has worked...

Nice Features, Sometimes Slow

by guv920 , Dec 28 '99
Pros: Many nice features
Cons: Sometimes slow
I use Microsoft Netmeeting to communicate with friends in Germany. It's free to download and there are plenty of servers on the internet to choose from.
With Netmeeting, you can talk to the other person over a microphone and headphones. That does of...

Good! But not yet the greatest

by jadefalcon , Feb 02 '00
Pros: Everything is streamlined, Great looking Interface
Cons: Need better docs on finding servers.
Microsoft netmeeting is a good program in that it allows you to use voice and text chat along with video.
but lately many that I have talked with are finding it difficult to find servers, and to even to connect unless thing's have changed over the...

Im not meeting anyone on netmeeting

by Tastyf4lif , Jul 05 '00
Pros: nice features
Cons: Perverts, doesnt connect, getting kicked alot
I first will say that I have nothing good to say about netmeeting. I can never get connected since they had an upgrade awhile ago. Yes I enjoyed talking to people with mics but I dont want to see a 70 yr old naked man pleasuring himself while we chat....

A must-have for long distance relationships

by as011g , Feb 07 '00
Pros: free!, fun, a great way to connect
Cons: doesn't always work, not great quality video or audio
I'm 330 long miles away from my honey. That means there's none of the cuddling, handholding, and physical togetherness that so many take for granted. However, when my boyfriend and I fire up our webcams and connect over NetMeeting, I can see his...

NetMeeting not up to my expectations

by justinsj , Jun 30 '00
Pros: Webcam viewing is easy
Cons: Giving out IP number is bad thing to do
Although i love the idea of Microsoft's NetMeeting, i don't like certain aspects of this program. While NetMeeting gives users the ability to see others when using webcams it also provides users the ability of connecting through their IP numbers making...

Voice? Video? Gimme the whiteboard!!

by mythor , Jun 29 '00
Pros: Free, pretty easy to get a conference set up, and a nifty whiteboard!
Cons: Can be laggy on a dialup connection, but virtually all voice/video related things are on a dialup.
I realise this is hardly the main reason most people will want to use NetMeeting, so I'll cover the main uses first.

Most people will say that NetMeeting is good because you can talk to your friends, business associates, family, whoever, all...

My Opinion Has Changed!!

by tyjmsmith , Aug 31 '00
Pros: Free voice chat/video, you can draw with your mouse, you can send files.
Cons: You can never call who you want call (see review for explanation)
I decided to re-write my old NetMeeting review after getting two SRs in one day (they were anonymous and so appreciate that fact, but that’s another review). Yes, it might have deserved the SRs because it was written like 7 months ago, but...

A different way to chat

by YODA_6 , Apr 14 '00
Pros: Easy to use, probably have it already, VIDEO CONFERENCING
Cons: Nothing else very useful about it
Netmeeting is really not the best chat program if that is all you want to do (I recommend ICQ for chatting) but it has a feature no other chat programs (that I have seen) has. Video confrencing. Yes video conferencing for free. It works really well...

NetMeeting - Another Incredible Program

by MoHNeY , Feb 08 '00
Pros: Everything
Cons: May be a little slow sometimes
Although it IS made by microsoft, i am in love with Microsoft Netmeeting. This program really impressed me with it's "Dry Erase Board" that you can draw on and it shows all people connected to the meeting, the speaking feature, and the ability...
