Ask Engadget: Best videoconferencing solution for

ou've got questions, and well, the rest of you have answers. That's right, it's time for Ask Engadget.

I'm looking for something that, with a single button press (no mouse action, no clicking -- launch and configure from a keyboard shortcut. even), will: * Establish a video call from point A to at least two other locations, simultaneously. * Use a sufficiently large screen and high-enough frame rate that facial expressions are visible to an older person without their glasses * Full-duplex audio * The ability to initiate a call from my location that auto-answers theirs, such that I appear on-screen without any intervention There are obviously a lot of solutions out there for videoconferencing, but how many are really simple enough for someone not at all technically inclined on the other end? We'd be tempted to recommend the ill-fated Ojo, but we're sure you guys have some tricks up your sleeves. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
