Dimdim: A Tool for Free Web Meeting, Free Web Conferencing, eLearning etc


Recently I came across a useful tool for free web meeting, web conferencing etc. It is Dimdim.

Dimdim was built to be a lot easier to use, extremly open and afforable. Dimdim tool is available in flexible commercial versions, free open source and as a free hosted service to support for free web meetings.

The nice feature which I found in Dimdim is the support provided by Dimdim to deliver synchronized live presentations, whiteboards and web pages and share our voice and video over the internet - with no download requirement.

The features:
  • Easiest to use
  • There's noting to install
  • One click to share our
- Microphone & Webcam
- Computer screen
- Whiteboard, websites, documents
- Public & Private Chat
  • It's free for up to 20 participants
  • Webinars & Audio Conferencing
  • Free recordings & embeddings
We can sign up for a free Didmin account which allows 20 participants, one webcam and free audio bridge.



The image above shows your own Dimdim page.

We can host a new meeting or we can join a meeting. If we want to hos a new meeting, we have to click the "Host Meeting" button. It will ask for the details and open up a very userfriendly interface to hold the meeting.

There will be a system check for the environment support and once it is fine, it will load the page shown below.


We can find collaboration workspace, public chat window, list of participants which has options for private chat, the audio broadcaster, white board, computer screen, document, web pages etc.
We can record the meeting using the "Record" button on the top part of the workspace.
This interface is really userfriednly.

I had an interesting 2 hour web meeting in Dimdim and it was a nice experience.
