Good Webinar software?

Hey guys, I have do a demo for a new customer who is too far to visit on office 365, does anyone know of a free (preferably) and high featured webinar software?

Do you have Office 365 as well, can you use Lync?

Yeah I'm an office 365 consultant

but sadly my new client does not have Lync, also lync doesn't like screenshare over low bandwidth connections

I've been on the receiving end of gotomeeting presentations a number of times and have presented using it, I believe they do a free trial. Seems fine from my experience.

There is a free trial for it, problem is it asks for credit card info, I can't afford to risk it taking anything

What about Team Viewer?

Teamviewer isn't great for demo's Imo, great for remote assistance, I've found a cisco webex 14 day trial

seems to be ok

It won't take anything. It really is a free 30 day trial.

WebEx would be my preference.

Another vote for Webex. Used it for around 4 years at the last company I worked for and never had any issues.

I've found it a bit bandwidth intensive as well but someone can join a Lync meeting with either the web app or Lync Atendee (though the web app is a bit limited) which might be useful to you in other cases.

oh that's kinda fun, struggling to make my desktop lync interact however :O

Webex or Gotomeeting or Powwownow if if you want to do it the old way, but these days just use Lync.
