DimDim for Web

Product overview

DimDim is a browser-based meeting and e-conference platform that supports live multimedia collaboration. It lets hosts run interactive sessions—sharing slides and screens, talking to participants, chatting in real time and broadcasting webcam feeds—without requiring attendees to install special software.

Quick alternative

Top free option to consider: Gmail (with its Meet integration) — a no-cost choice for many users who need straightforward conferencing functionality.

Getting started

Signing up for a DimDim account is simple. After registration, you’ll find short video walkthroughs that explain how to create a meeting and configure its options. To invite participants you can either enter their email addresses or distribute a direct meeting link. There’s also a blog widget you can place on a site to pre-register attendees before the session begins.

Core capabilities

• Webcam broadcasting (Pro supports up to four simultaneous cameras)
• Live voice and audio communication
• Real-time chat and collaborative slide presentation
• Desktop and screen sharing for demos and document walkthroughs

Key advantages

• Desktop and screen sharing for demonstrations and document review
• Slide presentation with collaborative controls
• Text chat and live audio for immediate interaction
• Webcam support that scales up in paid tiers

Usability and performance

The interface is thoughtfully organized for handling large-group conferences, which can feel overwhelming at first for organizers running small meetings. Screen sharing is available, but users report it can be unreliable or slow under some conditions, so time-sensitive demos may be affected.

Pricing and capacity

• Free tier: basic small-group meetings at no charge
• Pro plan: collaboration tools for up to 50 participants — approximately $25 per month
• Webinar hosting: sessions for up to 100 live users or events that can accommodate 1,000 attendees — around $75 per month

Who should pick this

If you need a quick way to host a multi-person e-conference without worrying about participants installing extra software, DimDim is a solid pick. It’s particularly useful for larger, interactive sessions, but if you depend heavily on flawless screen sharing, you may want to test performance beforehand or consider alternatives.
