I'm looking for suggestions on preferably free/cheap and easy to use video conferencing software that I could run from a laptop over the internet. Basically, I'm in charge of an academic seminar series (typically one presenter showing powerpoint-type slides and lecturing) with part of the potential audience about a 2 hour drive away, and I'd like to stream the talk to them somehow. Ideally, the remote audience would have some way to ask questions. I'm not too concerned about whether it is necessarily a public broadcast, but I don't want lots of specialized equipment (no more than a web cam and microphone, say). In a perfect world, I'd also be able to show two video streams: one of the speaker, and one of the slides (since they don't always come through on a cam so well). I might as well also say that we do have access to traditional teleconferencing, but I don't want to drag everyone to the special teleconferencing centers.
So: any ideas? EN World has always seemed like a great place to ask about tech stuff, and I suspect someone has used some kind of set-up like this for a game at some point. Thanks in advance!
