Most of our state agencies use Adobe Connect for such presentations, but this doesn't seem like a viable option for me. I've heard that some iteration of Google Hangouts is relatively accessible, but all participants and the presenter would need a Google account. Are there any better programs I can use to accomplish my goals?
