Default Video conferencing with shared desktop

Hi All

Anyone use video conferencing for work?

I'm looking for some software that might be suitable for doing one to one meetings but also sharing a desktop view in real time so we could see each other's sketches (entered live with a tablet) or CAD work and so on. I was taught A-level electronics in this manner over an ISDN line 10 years ago so it must be readily feasible now! Can anyone recommend some software for this and/or share your experiences regarding this way of working? The closer to free the software is the better chance I have of persuading the boss it's a good idea!

Netmeeting? It's not sophisticated but it's free.

Another Webex user here... it does do a great job and makes working with global teams relatively easy.
