Our group used the Google+ hangout feature.  It is a great video conferencing tool that allows up to 10 people to have a meeting all at once.  One of the advantages of the Google+ hangout tool is that it shows one persons video bigger in the middle of the screen.  Depending on who is talking and how loud they are talking it changes whose picture  is in the middle.  This is a good feature but it puts the focus on who is talking and keeps people from talking over one another.  Google+ hangout feature also has a text chat feature.  A disadvantage of Google+ hangout is that it can be a little temperamental.  During our web conference Jon was dropped from the conference when he tried to go to play around with some other features.  In its basic form it works very well but the other features need to be worked out.
