AnyMeeting Review
Launched in 2009, AnyMeeting (formerly Freebinar) is a free online web conferencing and webinar solution that offers the full range of tools necessary to hold online meetings. They depend upon their community of users to steer the direction of AnyMeeting’s services, and that community continues to grow everyday as they provide more and more features to this free service.
What AnyMeeting Does
If you’re a small business with a small budget, AnyMeeting allows you to host online meetings and webinars absolutely free. While their service is supported by advertising, you can easily have it removed by setting up ticketing for your webinars through PayPal. It supports both PC and Mac operating systems, so anyone can use this free web conferencing service.
Customer Focus
AnyMeeting targets its offerings towards independent business people, small companies, and startups. Their community of users are almost like consultants on AnyMeeting’s products, as the company consistently listens to what their customers have to say about the service before implementing any new features.

Bottom Line
AnyMeeting is constantly working on new ways to improve their free services, as demonstrated by their new redesigned user interface and live video conferencing, which they launched in October of 2011. After only two years, this free webinar software has come a long way, and they’re poised to give the big web conferencing companies some genuine competition in the future.
