Google Hangout is a free way for up to 9 people to meet using their computer and microphone. It is a wonderful way to host an online meeting, interview somewhere far away, or meet up with a friend. There is a chat that can be used alongside your video window, the entire meeting can be recorded and saved to be watched at a later date, and you can share documents and videos with ease.

Since it is made by Google it seamlessly works with other Google products. It is easy to view your agenda or work on the same document, just as you would with other Google apps. The person who is instigating the meeting has the ability to set up the Hangout and then email the address to the other members. This is a closed conversation, and outsiders are not allowed to join in unless they have an invitation.
I have found it to be fun, easy to use, versatile, and robust. I highly recommend it as a way for any groups to get together!
