Web conferencing services can enable business owners to save thousands of dollars every year that they may have to spend due to business travel. Vidquik, a new, easy-to-use web conferencing solution aimed at small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs), just launched its beta at the DEMO Fall 2011 conference.

With the majority of current web conferencing users conducting one-to-one meetings, Vidquik's beta will provide one-to-one meetings for free.

“Our technology and back-end architecture is highly cost-efficient and scalable, which means we can provide one-to-one meetings for free while other services might charge fifty dollars or more per month," said Bernard Moon, CEO of Vidquik, in a release. "The market is demanding a super-simple, free and very low-cost web conferencing service, especially in this economy."

Today's web conferencing services are more frustrating and confusing than useful to people who work at SMBs. Using Vidquik, people don't need to deal with downloads, or complicated user interfaces and software, as it is very fast and simple to use, according to the company.

At Vidquik's official product launch in November, the beta version will be expanded to provide multiple meeting rooms as well as tablet versions of its web conferencing platform.

Vidquik's video-only solution doesn't require registration or login – just go to the site and fill out a one-time form. Then you and the person you'll be conferencing with get an email, click on the hyperlink in it, and you're video conferencing.

For Vidquik's video-plus-presentation web conferencing version, one participant registers at the site, invites the other, and then both receive an email with a clickable link. It takes under three minutes – from first visiting the Vidquik site for video-only, or from completing the quick and simple registration for video-plus-presentation sharing – to start conferencing.
