Apart from Google Hangout, there is an application called Zoom which is commonly used by a number of companies and governments in conducting teleconferences. The Zoom application can involve 100 users in one conference viewing, for free.

Launching Techradar, Zoom service has the advantage that it is not easy to down when used in video conferencing.

Before long, you will be guided through the process of securing your account with a password. You're given the opportunity to invite people you know to sign up for Zoom, but you can skip this if you want.

2. Setting Your Webcam

Some monitors have an integrated camera, but you may need to add a webcam to your setup. However, you don't need a camera that is too fancy, just a camera with a reasonable resolution and an internal camera, you can use Zoom for video conferencing.

3. How to Join the Meeting
