Need advice
 
I am having a family reunion later this month and want to stream it live from my laptop computer as we have family in far off places that can't make it and would like to at least pop in and see us. What is the best service to do this for free?

It appears that group calls are a premium service Justin

It looks like that is a premium thing now or am I missing something?

It's hard to say. Last year we had about 5 or 6 connect with Stickam.

Veetle is great! I stream Doctor Who there often.

Based on your first post it sounds like you want to stream audio/video. Do you need two way communication for this or do you just want a provide a video stream?

I recommend Veetle for pure streaming. If you want 2-way communication then things get a bit more complicated.

You could also do a twitter/instagram hashtag so people can follow photos and comments online. This could be a fun and an easy alternative to setting up video.

Yeah, audio and video if doable, but audio and video from my end only would be okay too, doesn't have to be two way. will check out veetle
